There's a 100% chance of me ending up with not so great builds.
There's also a pretty good chance I'll fail to finish. Of the Clunker Challenges that I've entered, I've finished exactly one build, a Diamondback Joker BMX bike. I got about halfway on the "ride 62 miles" part on that thing before I quit.

Good job on the donations. The Allitalia was almost free - it cost me some time helping a neighbor move furniture. I still need to take it apart and see what it needs.
