Musk noted that, in his pre-billionaire days, he could not afford to pay for a mechanic to fix his car, so he did it himself with junkyard parts. “Ironic that I broke my replacement side window glass,” he admitted. “The circle is complete, lol.”
Could not afford to pay for repairs, so I fixed almost everything on this car from the parts to the scrap yard. Ironic that I broke my replacement side window glass. The circle is complete, lol.

musk went on to say, the car in 1978, BMW 320i, bought it in 1993 for $1,400.
“I hotrodded it by jamming in a 5-speed gearbox from a later model I found in a Philly junkyard, if the 4-speed transmission is failed,” Musk said. He noticed that he was repairing the window, because thieves broke in and the radio stolen, “which is a value of maybe $20.”
