It’s no Immoral Minority fleet, but the second garage stall is stacked like cordwood. With the addition of the scooter I bought yesterday, there are now four scooters, two power wheels, a small tiller, stairs for a loft bed I bought my little one a couple days ago, and keen eyes will spot a riding lawnmower project back there too.

The rider is a little old Toro with a bagger that my neighbor gave me this past weekend. It doesn’t run. The shop quoted him $900 to redo the valves in an 8-horse L-head Briggs. He bought a push mower instead, and pushed the rider to the curb.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep it or flip it. I really like it, but I really don’t need it. Anyways, my buddy will help fix this engine up in exchange for beer and food. This one is beyond my skill set.

The little Kymco 50 will need to go as well. The profit from flipping this, combined with the profit from flipping that dirt bike a couple weeks ago, will make the Hooligan I bought yesterday be a net zero dollars out of pocket purchase.
