Just curious thats all, and its the middle of the night trying to study for exams and all i can think about is my car.
Well for me, i work part-time at a supermarket just around the corner from where i live. Pay is alright, i get by. . . biggrin.gif
Cant wait for uni break tho, so i can work more shifts, meaning for funds for more mods. Hehehe

I sell my body, or drugs.

BTW, this forum really needs a :paranoid: smiley.

On the real, I know this kid that really DID sell drugs, and he bought himself a nice little CTS-V Sport. Not that I'm saying drug dealing is a feasible option, but he just got lucky I guess.

Honestly, I don't have any mods. My speakers and head unit were given to me as birthday gifts, so overall, I've spent nothing on this car yet. biggrin.gif

Haha, I remember those.

Actually, the Turbo R versions are pretty sweet, with the widebody and everything.

The new ones are pretty cool though, I wouldn't mind rocking one.

one of the best things to do

if you don't have the money cash, don't buy it

remember this is a hobby not a necessity. I put money away on every paycheck, and look for good deals, not the ones that look good, but the actual good ones. if bidding on eBay, set a maximum price that you would pay, before you get caught up on the outbidding your opponent mood. if it goes out of your range or predetermined price, quit and wait for another one.

and don't forget, building a car takes time, a lot of cars here have more than 6000 dollars into them, but that was not an overnight event on most cases. so patience and budgeting are the key to success.
