im just wondering where all of you work at or how all of 240sx owners get their funds to get those high end mods and keep their 240's looking nice, i personally worked doing drywall but im looking for a new job, so im making this thread to get some ideas...may seem a little weird but whatever.

haha that reminds me i was going to work for save mart doing that but then i refused the job because i heard there was too many racist people in there. i dont like racism, im mexican but i dont hate on any other race. anyways im trying to find a job doing retail or something because im a little tired of coming home with texture, paint, white powder in my hair etc.

Glad you guys feel me on not having a job. Being 20 and trying to pick up bishez on a bike must be a b i t c h that sucks. I have a couple times actually when i ride BMX around town and at the skate park.

I go to SFCC b/c apparently I'm a tard. Only a fraction of my checks go to my car to fix broken/braking parts. I try to save the rest for emergencies, school and miscellaneous things.

yea it hella sucks...i also wishi had rich parents that would randomly give me like $1500 so i can buy myself tein coilovers or something...

and to the guy with the tickets, just take it easy and drive your car like a classic that way more $$$ goes toward your 240, i cant afford to get any tickets because otherwise bmw wont take me, also many shops wont employ me so i gotta stay driving clean. meanwhile im trying to find a new job.
