    Today is a little emotional for me, because I just found my old dream car, a rare 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, rotting away in a garage in Texas. Will it run? Can it be built? Have I lost my mind?

I currently own a caprice classic, that my grandparents bought brand new in 1994. I fell in love with that car the first time I saw it at just 6 years old, and it was my inheritance when both of them had passed. Sadly, the car had a run in with a flatbed semi trailer and has sat in my garage, untouched, for the last 4 years. I think Its time that I get to work on her and do all the things that I've dreamed about doing to that car.
