What jobs do you guys/gals have to dump all this cash into your RX-7?

I'll go ahead; I have no sweet hookups for my car, so I save all the money I get, divide it into categories. Since I'm 17, the smaller half goes to my car and the bigger goes towards collage.

I'd like to know what this community does to pay for their car...
(Don't answer if you don't want to)

 

haha

ha

yeah... i have a house and 2 other cars to pay for plus the usual bills... i have no money...

edit: almost forgot... i work in a steel mill.

 

Maybe you should put more towards school. There is not an A in College.

 

I'm a supervisor at a local grocery store lol (18 years old) and I'm in school full time to get my level C welding ticket. I live at home so ALL of my money goes to my car.
I wish it would run lol

 

Got a couple different jobs, Lowes, working in a concrete and the big ticket working as a head chef for 11 weeks in the summer at a country club (1000 a week at the club). Most of the money I make this summer will end up going into my car. No school for me till I get my bearings will probably be something to do with cars though it's turned into my passion.

 

jobless, but i think i got the hookup to work at Gamestop [17]
but in january, i start to get my 11,600$ in settlement checks =D

Used to do something very similar for traditional cable assemblies.
