  • You’re both right.

    Most of the time condition is the determining factor, but there are cars that even absolutely fucked, the value is in the vin number. You can cut away 90% of the chassis and body, replace it with steel and patch panels from lesser models, source an engine and an interior and “ship of thesius” yourself a “Genuine” 69 R/T Charger.

    Also, you’re disregarding the sweat equity equation. Basic spares and repair parts are usually pretty cheap, wiring and mechanical on an old truck is pretty damn simple and bodywork is reasonably easy to learn and do quite affordably if they are smart about it and have the time to put in.

    Restoration shops do manage to stay in business because sometimes people want the car they lusted after when they were 16,the kids have grown up and moved out and they have money… condition is less important then.







  • Pubmed article that says I’m not full of shit.

    Yes it is a dieting aid, the basic objective of losing weight is to control caloric intake. If you skip breakfast and can do so without significant hunger or energy issues it absolutely works as a method of controling intake. There is not a single diet on earth that will allow you to lose weight if you are putting in more calories than you burn.

    There is literally no evidence that it slows down or messes with your metabolism. It IS however sub-optimal for anyone trying to gain muscle mass or anyone with a physically strenuous job.

    How can a meal be low carb AND balanced? Low carb is a bunch of fad bullshit. Carbs arent a problem, easily accessible, highly processed, highly paletable, calorie dense carbs are a problem.

    The last point is just straight up common sense. If you’re gonna not eat all day and then fuck up 2 meatlovers pizzas the problem isnt that you’re fasting.
