Valet.. and another side job.

drft_180sx 03-06-04 07:01 AM

I work as the receptionist for a health club in midtown manhattan. I work weekends, and fail classes at Stony Brook University during the week. I make 125 dollars.

40% for gas (thats $50!!!!!! a week)
12.8% for insurance (800/year under my moms name)
10% for cell phone bill

That leaves a grand total of 43.xx to spend on my car each week (i can't wait till summer!)

Advance Auto PArts and Batteries, fixing all of my friends busted up shitboxes, and evry now and then, the student loan fairy makes a substantial contribution.

Lodivigo 03-06-04 09:34 AM

I'm 23 and in need of some direction as far as what I want to be when I grow up. :D

I'm a lot tech at a Mazda Dealership. A good chunk of my monthly income goes to bills, whatever is left goes to the cars. I get a tiny discount on new parts which sucks ass, the only real perk of the job is that occasionally a 7 will come in with a bad motor and the customer will usually either abandon it, or want to sell it real cheap. I pick 'em up, take what I need, and sell the rest.

Even though I am a dork, my RX-7 makes me look cool.

MountainTurbo 03-06-04 11:45 AM

I do home theaters and home audio. Design, building, programing, and installation.

Some of the theaters we've done are freaking crazy! With the ammount of money people spend on just a theater I could buy myself a couple FD's and make them go really fast:D

Most of my money goes to bills (lots and lots and lots of debt from my younger, wilder days:P), but I sneak a performance part as often as I can:D

RX-Heven 03-06-04 11:46 AM

chic7 03-06-04 12:07 PM

Work as a government contract employee.... basically, I scan or code and quality check classified documents for the government..... decent pay at $13+ and hour, but the trouble comes when work runs out..... then it's lay-off time for everybody... (it's lucky that i'm one of the last few left at work.... XD) So far, it's like 20% to home needs (still live at home till my two friends get their shit together and I finish at least stage 1 of my mods), 50% to bills ($180 for insurance per month for a 87 Accord and $100 or so per month for cell phone), and 30% to the 7... No savings at all... lol, gotta try and change that.....

Edit: OH NO!!! I've been laid off as of 1:03 PM.... Ironic, no? XD
