I'm a cashier at Sam's Club. Get 10 bucks an hour on weekdays, including saturday and 11 bucks on sunday. Work about 25-30 hours a week.

im 18 and i work for the county government here as a deputy clerk. we type car titles for the whole state of tn and i just got a $2 raise today so now im making 8.50/hour

I'm 21 years old and I'm a Manager at a company which uses Cingular Wireless as a franchise but I work my *** off.... work 11 hours a day and 6 days a week. I'm usually on desk, browsing NICO, and other sites. Bad thing besides the hours I work is the pay, I get $600 a week after taxes plus commission so its $600 + a week. Also going to be transfered to a better location where there will be more sales out so hopefully make more off commission and mayb e a raise? hehe

But yeah, I live alone, pay the rent, bills, and dont own a car... Im trying to save money to get another 240sx after I wrecked my old one... but I cant really get around to save up money I'm pretty bad with managing my own money flow...

sounds exactly like mt job, do you work for a guy named Len Roberts, and a big "R" on your sign?;)

Here is a little tip for everyone. Ive been in this scene for quite some time and went through 2 project cars. Im not an expert nor am i trying to sound like one. With every project, you have to be patient. Its the most important thing, unfortunatly I learned it the hard way. If you want a nice car, whatever it may be, Rice, Drag, Drift, Show. You need time to plan and know what you want and be patient. Stay away from junk and cheap crap. If its too good to be true, it probably is. Sometimes its good to spend the extra buck to get the better part. Most of the time the extra $$ is worth it. Do not go settle for less if is something is not available.

I mean you probably all already know this. But just info you should all keep in mind and be patient!

[jdmfreak]

Agreed!

[neokeoki]

you tax dollars pay me

[240SXer]

That's why I went with a big .86 A/R GT2540R turbo and an external wastegate. Not the best, but far from the worse. People need to consiter their ultimate goal more often when they mod their car I think. If your trying to make a 13 second car don't waste money on mods that will give barely any gain, save for a turbo or somthing.

[IlIkEmYz]

that's a good point

i think im going to set my car up as a week end drifter/autocross.

[Hellion240sx]

{[ at one point over the summer i had 5 jobs and school!!!]}0.

since you mentioned it, someone above, my car has been under construction since 99!!!!!!!

i am very patient! i guess

[nab911]

I work for the cobb county goverment IS department. I run around fixing computers a lot but a lot of the time im sitting here at our help desk.... talking to you guys and buying parts for my car.

[tranzor_Z]

Long name for pilot ****** boy, but the pay is great!

[annunziato39]

Here's something that might help a little to make some money. I've recently had some terrible motor troubles and i have no spare cash to pay for it, plus i'm moving to NC soon and i'm trying to save up some cash to, you know... live. But i need to fix the car, how will i come up with the money? Simple. I have a baseball bat signed by Arod with a certificate of authenticity, who cars you say. Well everyone will when you say it could be there's for $10. I just set up a box pool for it, I can get 100 people to give me $10, bam, i got a grand cash. I'm doing $10 because thats chump change for these people, i don't feel like pushing my luck. So if any of you guys have an item that 100 other people might want, set up a pool for it, pick some WNBA game to get the numbers from and walk away with the cash.

[Nissan-S14]

lol hustler!

[IlIkEmYz]

i though of a pool of selling my fund raising cookies in high school but the teacher said that i was cheating so he won't let me.

Now i think im going to do that with my barry bonds rookie card

[wangless]

hahahahaha

[crzycav86]

I'm a schemer. I sit on my *** until I think of a good way to make money... then I do it. The pay has been pretty good so far. I have never had a "real" job yet, and I hope to continue being self-employed in the future.

[jdmfreak]

annunziato39 way to husstle. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. That bat should sell easily. Some of those rockland people are sittin on some $$$. Why ya movin to NC. Thats a big change compared to NY. Oh BTW I live about 45 minutes from you.

[annunziato39]

My Girl friend works for Verizon Wireless and they moved the entire building to NC, along with a $10,000 tax free grant and she is able to keep her pay from NY in NC, which is the same as getting a 20% raise. I'm 24 and don't really have anything holding me back. I have no idea what i'm going to do down there, If anyone knows of jobs in the Wilmington, NC area don't be shy.

[hamsterball]

I'm working on a business oppurtunity that isn't paying that good for starters.. It will take time before I am able to make some real money off of it.

In the mean time, while working for the business oppurtunity, I'm trying to get hired at a theatre as projectionist, so that will be my guaranteed income.

Right now, there is no work done on the 240 lol. It's fully stock.

I should have $4,000 dumped into it later on . hahaha.
