What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to save money? (obviously for car parts and junk of the like)

What does everyone do to save money on the daily?

What type of jobs do you bastards with unbelievable cars have?

Finally, how do you drifters do it?

Hopefully these topics haven't been to widely discussed. I've been lurking the forums for quite some time and joined not to long ago in hopes of getting a lot of questions answered. This one however, is something I thought might be original haha.

azndoc · 12-09-2008, 05:21 PM

I don't know how I do it.

While making only $20k a year.

Shit is stupid.

Drifting ruined my life.

ALTRNTV · 12-09-2008, 05:21 PM

You're poor and in need? You're 19 and you're posting this. Do you have a job?
Doesn't seem like it. If you don't, get a job and save up.

Matej · 12-09-2008, 05:24 PM

My car is built with four years worth of allowance & lunch money.

I happen to live in an area where there is no work for kids in high school. I'm out the 18 tho for good. Then I get a minute on probation and it's off to basic training boii.

Hmm, any of you military folk here? Military mechanics? Just regular mechanics? Getting sick of doing it for so many years?

I wonder...

lilaznjeff · 12-09-2008, 05:28 PM

I rob old people at ATM machines daily.
Easy 200-400$ depeding on the max withdraw.

I beat up kids like you for money.... strength means absolutely nothing... other than the fact that your tendons are already stretched tight and pop easier.

Dude, it's all I care about. Notice how I said I'm 19 and still in school? Well, I'm in high school...yeh...super senior.

Education is in the bag but the grades are in the toilet. I figure the military has options for me.

college isn't for everyone. I think you have the right idea looking into military and if not that, may wanna try a tech school. Put your passion for cars to work for good.

lilaznjeff · 12-09-2008, 05:53 PM

the taller they are, the bigger they are.
the harder they fall, and bounce from the ground.

DeathMetal · 12-09-2008, 06:01 PM

Who said anything about fighting? I've never been in a fight in my life, not with the people I roll with.

And I figure with some martial arts and boxing under my belt, it'd be easy to get hired. BTW I'm 5'9" and 208 lbs, I don't go to the ground easy.

norcal_black240 · 12-09-2008, 06:02 PM

When I wanted to turbo my KA i worked 2 jobs in summer. I started work on my family peach orchards at 5am and worked until 3p.m. with a 1 hour lunch break then i would go home and shower then work at a golf course from 4-9 or 10 p.m. no breaks. I was the guy who drove around in the golf cart that people try to hit on the driving range. I did this 5 days a week and on my days off I would do additional work in the orchards working 10 hours on my days off. I didnt get overtime tho in the orchards since its family owned.

All of this when minimum wage was under 7 bucks a hour.

VQMaxFan · 12-09-2008, 06:04 PM

Don't worry about it, you are 19, we really shouldn't have money unless its inherited or some shit most of the time.

knowledge means nothing without putting that knowledge to use. It is the difference between conscious competency and unconscious competency. If you have a background in martial arts, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Depending on where you plan on "bouncing" at, you may need more of the real world experience than the hypothetical experience.

I don't doubt this at all, but I believe since I was younger that I understood the world and it's revolutions more than those around me. It was harsh on me when I was little and didn't understand the simple pleasures of enjoying recreation, which turned out terrible for my teenage years (pubescent) for I was constantly engaging myself in doing everything I possibly could to avoid the institution. I did not care for the idea that there is something I was "supposed" to do, so I became rather obsessed with defying that.

Now it has caught up with me and I am knowledgeable without the burden of proof for me to further any succession into colleges or universities and truly.

FUCK IT. I JUST WANNA BE A KID AND

. While doing something to potentially support a family and a life and yadda yadda.

(BTW excuse my grammar, that's what I lack completely haha)

go to tech school... work hard, take every opportunity to go above and beyond. try to work your way into specializing into some of the higher end sports cars or luxury car lines. They pay the mechanics well.

**S13SilviaGirl** · 12-09-2008, 06:23 PM

First off, what service are you entering? Military is not a bad deal at all. I liked my time in, but, am glad I am out now. But the branch and your personal outlook is pretty much how good it will be to you.

I'm thinking National Guard for the ability to live a normal life and still get a little money on the side. I'm more going for the schooling than anything and to use the military status for guaranteed work.

I know its not the fuckin marines or whatever but it's a good option for me.

Fries · 12-09-2008, 06:50 PM

Meh I made 20k during highschool [Supervisor at a Popeye's on post]
It's an awesome way to fund a car.
Until you think you're a baller so you go and buy a kouki under a loan.
Now you're stuck paying your debt rather then buying parts.

Shit takes time son. Don't eat fast food/waste money on sodas. Just save money.

National Guard deploys more than you think, and lately, the fact that you are military is not a guarantee for work. Even after your service. I would look into the other branches...especially the AF. Just make sure to talk to all of them, and don't fall for their BS.

DeathMetal · 12-09-2008, 07:00 PM

Yeah if anyone's a skeptic, it's me. I won't be joining for atleast half a year due to probation. For the time being I'll do my bitchwork in whatever landscaping and fast-food jobs I end up in whilst researching my military options.
