Turning a Love for Cars into a Side Hustle – Any Success Stories?

I’ve always had a soft spot for cars, whether it’s tinkering under the hood or just admiring a clean build. Lately, I’ve been wondering if anyone here has managed to turn that passion into something more maybe flipping cars, doing detailing on the side, or even investing in rare models.

How did you get started? Were there any unexpected challenges or lessons along the way? I’m especially curious about balancing it with a day job, since time can be tight. If you’ve got tips or just want to share your experience, I’d love to hear it.

(Also, if anyone’s into minimalism like me, how do you reconcile that with car collecting? Seems like a fun contradiction to navigate!)
