Damn if that isn’t proof I’ve failed at life so far. But anyway I once posted something about !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I’m also feeling very impatient even for “soon” and I feel like screw it, I want to look for a project now. My...’rents keep telling me it’s a waste of money and space for the time being because we’re moving soon and future employment opportunity might end up taking me out of state anyway so why spend money on something I either have to lug with me or Craigslist off, but I feel like that excuse is just going to end up being a “forever no” if I let it. So fine, I’ll do the last option I was exploring in that thing, like a motorcycle. Specifically, either a Honda Super Cub or a very cheap, disposable scooter.
The only problem is...Discovery Channel seems to really really love these 10 Best lists of best motorbikes (seriously they can give Sploid a run for their money) and they really really love putting the Super Cub in the #3 slot just because it’s the most “mass-produced motorized vehicle ever,” and they really really love putting biker guys like their typical Velocity Channel doofi on complaining that it’s not a real motorcycle, but for all that lovefest over how it’s the most common motorvehicle on the planet there seems to be an extreme lack of Super Cubs...uh, anywhere in the U.S. WTF gives? But anyway I’m open to suggestions. I’m looking for a budget of...literally as low as you can go, and since the whole point of it is a project I don’t care what state it’s in, in fact I’ll yell at you if it’s in too good condition.

Don’t worry, I just turned 20 and I haven’t really owned a car yet.

Curious...if you got a project car would you have space to store it? A running/driving project is preferable to one that isn't, but if you want to do it you just need to do it. YOLO and all.

I’d find an old dirtbike, try finding one with a decent amount of parts availability though. They’re simple to work on and it doesn’t have to look good, because dirt bike. You live in Colorado? Perfect, now you have a trail machine, no licensing or insurance to worry about.
Another option is an old 3 wheeler *

. They might be “dangerous” (learn how to ride it and respect the machine) but they’re stupid fun, and stupid cheap, although prices are going up for some reason. Parts for Honda trikes are everywhere, a lot of times even new. Yamaha’s and Kawi’s not as much but not terrible either.

You’re welcome . I’ll split them with you, as long as one fits in my Roadmaster wagon.

Find a Sym Symba - Sym are a Taiwainese scooter company, and they are of very good quality, actually.
Their vehicle work actually began way back in the ‘60's making motorbikes under license for Honda, so the modern Symba is almost 100% a clone of the original SuperCub.
They are discontinued now, but there should be some used ones around, perhaps?

I briefly owned a BMW that was inherited from my grandfather but my parents decided to sell because I was only 15 back then.
