we've cycled back to talking about wanting a car. he wants a 'project car to work on' but we all know that would never work out. he doesn't ride his bike anymore because it's broken and he's done nothing whatsoever to fix it, so even if he did manage to buy a car it would just sit and rot in his apartment parking lot, or he'd sell it for $300 in scrap or whatever. beyond that, he doesn't even possess the knowledge to fix anything on a car, the 'mechanical skills' he talks about are nonexistent. he is 31 years old and has never had a drivers license, and with his eyesight I can't imagine he'd even be able to get one.
but lets pretend he could actually manage to get his license and save enough to buy a drivable vehicle, it could be a good goal for himself. if he could just save some of the money he gets sent instead of immediately blowing it on booze and $45 door dash food hacks then it isn't unrealistic that he could save like $2000 to buy some beater off fb marketplace (ignore the cost of insurance/registration/etc we're just pretending). I believe he could accumulate that in a couple months of ebegging, but he has shown numerous times he just burns through that money. he made like $300 in a stream not too long ago that's like 15% of a car, sell a few shitty wands and ebeg some more and eventually you've got a car but in his mind 'saving for a car' is such a big impossible thing so he doesn't see it that way.
realistically though, even if a miracle happened and he got a license and car, he'd end up in the DUI speedrun hall of fame.
we also got some deep wand lore. take notes here folks, these are the words of a true master in the art of wandmaking.
