Buying Your First Project Car: Something You May Miss

prjct.Garage Season 1 Episode 8

Everyone’s got opinions on buying a prjct car, but most miss the reality of busted budgets, bad advice, and rookie mistakes. In this episode, John and Justin break down the real-world process of choosing your first prjct car—from what not to do when browsing Marketplace, to the myth of finding “the perfect platform.” They dive into advice from BigTime's recent video and challenge common takes around genre, budget, and aftermarket support. Whether you're building for drift, time attack, or just wrench time on weekends, this is your no-BS guide to picking a car that won't break you before it breaks down.

💬 Topics include:
✔️ Why your first prjct car shouldn’t be based on genre
✔️ Budget vs. community support—what matters more
✔️ Learning to wrench before learning to mod
✔️ Why most “cheap” cars are cheap for a reason
✔️ How to not get starry-eyed when car shopping
