Do what Dave says. If you dont have a title, you may as well but a
tin bucket in the yard and drop money into it.....same thing except that you
can take the bucket back to the house and dump the money out.

Old cars take money. You say you have a tight budget. If so, either practice
your bondo work on it or buy a brick of .22 shells and use it for a target. Limit yourself to $100 total before you have a title IN HAND.

Dont shoot at the tires with a .22
