Some cars are cheaper to modify then others. Like Hondas compared to VW's. But at the end of the day its 4 simple letters V-I-S-A!!!


And a 2600$ debt

you gotta give the sponsor a reason to want to sponsor you. but in the end theyre just gonna rice up your car and youll have to go to a bunch of gay shows and waste your time. best bet, find a better job

Dig up all your old Toy's and put them on E-bay.

Early to mid 80's toys go for pretty good coin.

Old game systems can fetch some ok money too. Anything is better then them just sitting collecting dust right???

Take back empties and save change, pack a lunch for school and look for weekend or evening jobs.

Good luck.

I own a 5th gen Lude and it is pretty heavy on the wallet when it comes to high quality mods... But remember when you do mods make it high quality and manufactured by the best....

It's definately tough when your 17. I bought my car when I was 18 and modded since then. I worked three jobs when I was 18 and still do. I waitress which helps Cash from tips and teach. When parents pay for post secondary education also helps big time and living at home in the past

I've noticed that when you get a cell phone and put it on a plan. Thats where all your checks go to... So what I do, is just get a simple phone and put it on pay as you go. Saves me a shitload

depends how much you use the phone. if your going through a couple 50 dollar phone cards a month your better off jumping on a plan.

I usually starve myself.

With the added money I save from not eating I can afford mods that I really don't need
