I don't even know what they're called, but I want to start a !cars. Because it would be so great to have a leftist space for car enthusiasts. Any time anything political comes up, you just get horribly out-of-touch hatred getting spewed everywhere in the comments section. People that have enough money to buy a corvette or used 911 tend to lean conservative.
it's not necessarily thaaaat expensive. Rich Rebuilds on youtube is doing a "cheap" electric (new) mini project and is aiming to be under 5k for the whole thing. some of it would be pretty hard to replicate because he does find an absolute steal on an old Zilla controller and lots of other stuff but if you do as he says and shop EV classifieds you can find people letting go of their projects for pennies on the dollar, usually just because they lost interest/drive with the project
