There is a difference between "working on your car" as a hobby versus "working on your car" out of necessity because you need a working vehicle to get to work, get groceries, etc

Working on a car as a hobby is generally expensive, buying nice parts and building something awesome to drive. Maybe drive on a track, even.

Poor people working on a car are usually doing it out of necessity to keep it running.

> People are generally poor because they were never taught how to manage money, not because they don't have any.

I mostly disagree. Yes, financial literacy is a problem, but most poor people are poor because necessities like rent, groceries, a vehicle, insurance, etc are all expensive and they do not have in-demand skills to earn significantly more income than their expenses

"People are generally poor because they were never taught how to manage money" is an attitude that goes hand in hand with statements like "If people just stopped buying their daily coffee they wouldn't be poor"

But actually poor people can't afford a daily coffee in the first place
