I used to build race cars. Two guys I knew did this.
The first one was actually a massive nerd who by day worked for some shipbuilding company that designed and made composite hulls for the Navy. It was big money with few working hours.
The other guy owned some random worthless land in the middle of nowhere and some oil company sent him money each month for mineral rights.
So essentially both had limitless funds for what is usually a side hobby.
Ive built racecars too and I love the optimism of these people. Its always slightly depressing to have to explain to them “Buddy, if there was an affordable way to easily make 1000 reliable HP without sacrificing anything for a reasonable figure. We would all have done it.”
A common thing I’ve told people starting out is to find a class or race you want to compete in and build the car for that. It’s almost always cheaper to have one race car and one street car than it is to have a car that tries to do both.

Oh, I get it. Racist.
Obviously, this is ridiculous, but how many seemingly normal people have analogous dreams.
“I want to run a company, but never went to business school or managed people.”
“I want to invent the next killer app, but need some people who know how to program.”
“I want a smoking hot, submissive girlfriend, but I am out of shape, spend no time on my appearance, and have trouble speaking to other people out loud.”
Athletes, musicians, investors, writers, artists, we want it all and we want it now.
What are you doing today to fulfill your dreams? You’re not going to win the lottery. You’re not going to be “discovered” by someone in power. You are the source of your success. Set your goal and work towards it right now.
Get a nissan leaf and pay someone to rebuild it with a tesla motor powering the rear end and a pile of extra batteries in the boot.

Given it’s a greentext I’m 90% sure they want to be Takumi Fujiwara.
Given it was posted to an Indonesian Cross Stitching website, I would say they want to be Speed Racer.
There are worse people to emulate
It’s more like Brian in 2F2F, although I guess a pimped Skyline isn’t much of a sleeper
He just goes by “family” now
Get yourself an eight-six and start delivering tofu. Don’t spill any water.
