Do What Others Aren't: Career Reinvention with Paul Austin-Menear | E18

So, you know, I've had some, some cars that I think were just like unlucky.

You know, those cars were like, you just pour money into it and it just, you keep pouring money into it and you keep pouring money into it.

And like, there's just ghosts in the machine or something and not friendly ones.

Like not fun ones.

And so I've just had better luck with Toyota

recently.

Even though, you know, my old Subaru 2005 saved my life and I should have bought it.

I should have bought it, auctioned it back from the scrapyard and fixed it up again and rebuilt it.

And that's my mistake.

And to Ulysses, that was the car's name, to Ulysses out there, if you're recycled, thank you.

You know, so I don't know if you're a driver like that.

yeah lemons man like we we so we call that car up here a lemon you know the car that just like you pour money into and you you can't make it work and stuff just happens like we call those lemons yeah we've right i've had those before i've had those before i had a i had a volkswagen an 87 volkswagen that was it was like that it's a model called the fox stuff would just go wrong and i was like okay I can't even sell this.

I'm just going to send it to the scrapyard.

A year later, I had a different 1987 Volkswagen Fox.

Same model.

Same place of manufacture.

Absolutely everything the same, except for it was a different model and had different headlights.

And I think it was a different size engine.

It was awesome.

You know, it was great.

Yeah.

Do you think...

At some point, like, and I tend to get attached to my vehicles, you know? Like, I'll name them.

They get names, and I think that they have souls.

I don't know.
