This man is on a Mini to Lamborghini journey, and his latest milestone is a Tesla Model 3.
He started off by buying a Mini for dirt cheap, and has been flipping cars ever since in order to reach his goal.
So far he’s been through eight different cars that he picked up in bad condition, fixed, and then flipped them.
It’s been going well up until this point, but he fears the Tesla might make things a bit more difficult.

The Mini to Lamborghini journey
Creator Ethan Overton started a video series on his Instagram, where he aims to go from a Mini to a Lamborghini.
It all started back in May 2024 when he got a bent-up Mini and sold it for a profit not long after.
That turned out to be the beginning of a long journey towards his goal Lamborghini.
You see, he started off with old and inexpensive used hatchbacks that don’t really burn a hole in your pocket — compared to a Lamborghini, at least.
It’s not that a Mini is a terrible car — it makes for a great gift as seen in this case.
It’s just that it’s a far cry from a supercar like a Lamborghini, so the road is long.
Although it seems like quite the task, it looks like the content creator is well aware of the patience required.
The next car that he got was a totaled Ford Fiesta ST that he also fixed and sold off.
Eventually, he went through a Volkswagen Caddy and a Porsche Boxster S until he bought an Audi S3 in not-so-great condition.
The latest milestone is a Tesla Model 3
The Audi was technically his fifth car in this series, but another contender for the fifth position was a SEAT Ibiza that he wanted to use as a daily driver.
Hence, the BMW M240i that came later was the sixth car in his Mini to Lamborghini series, which is now replaced by a ‘crashed’ Tesla Model 3.
The Model 3 is the first EV he encountered in this journey, and it’s proving a challenge.
You see, unlike a gas-powered car, fixing a ‘dead’ Tesla requires extensive specialty knowledge.
You can’t really ‘fix’ all that much without direct assistance from Tesla.
This Cybertruck owner fixed his car for just $25 after Tesla quoted him $3,000 for a repair, so it’s not impossible to do it yourself.
Considering he’s been able to fix so many cars so far, we reckon he’ll be able to get the Tesla back up to working condition no trouble.
Some people just have a knack for it, and Overton’s one of them.
You can always create your own Lamborghini like this man did, but that would be skipping the queue in Overton’s case.
