Car: 1993 240SX

Job: My own Computer Buisness

Housing: Parents 100%

Cash: 0.00 - no money if shop isnt open.

Percent on car - when I start generating revenue... 50% of my pay.

What do I do at my job: Build custom computers and deal with bad customers, and everything else that involves owning your own buisness. Unfortunately, I've spent all my cash in this and now I'm broke so I moved in with my parents, Grand openning is Nov. 29 but the city is really shoving crap up my @ss and says I can't open yet till I fix a few things. My surge protectors don't have enough LED's on them, apparently there needs to be 3 LED's the Ground and Protected LED's aren't enough. I have to replace all of them. Yeah so my shop is prevented from openning because of some lame surge protectors. The city will not reinspect my shop anytime soon either. B!tches I swear.
