"...my project car took precedence."

CHARLESTON—This story merges fantasy and automotive passion, a starving man stumbled upon a genie, and his three wishes defied conventional expectations. Instead of requesting an endless feast or boundless wealth, the man used his wishes to breathe life into a neglected project car that had long been a symbol of his unfulfilled dreams.

The man, who had been grappling with hunger going on nine years, recounted the transformative moment, saying, "When the genie offered me three wishes, I knew I wanted something more meaningful than just nutrition. My passion for cars and the unfulfilled dreams associated with my project car took precedence."

The wishes were a lifeline, not just for the man but for the dormant engine and rusting chassis of his beloved project car. Rather than opting for a quick fix, the starving man chose a path that resonated with his inner desires, turning his wishes into a manifestation of his automotive dreams.

As the once-neglected project car roared back to life, the man found solace and satisfaction in the revving engine and polished exterior as he continued to wither away from dehydration and starvation.
