Hey im 18 years old and as some of you know my engine blew 3 weeks ago. itsgetting fixed right now but my parents had to get a credit card for me . With labor and extra parts and the rebuilt engine its about $3,000. I was wondering if anyone knows how i can make some extra money on the side. like i said im only 18 im a senior in high school and i only work about 20-25 hours a week at 10 dollars an hour. I'm real good with business stuff. I used to help run my buddy's last year. I'm also good with ebay. anyone have any ideas?

I have been amazed at my kids' (daughters) ability to make money.

Babysitting and feeding neighbors dogs pay way more than I imagined. ($70 last week alone for dogs, cats and a turtle) The oldest one was a lifeguard, aerobics instructor, personal trainer, and had regular babysitting customers in her senior year of highschool. (I pumped septic tanks in highschool, I think they are stepping up)

Lawn mowing is hugh here also. Auto detailing is popular.

Btw, you should be able to have put the motor back together for much less, imho. What exactly did you have done?

Be one of those kids in High School who gets into a teachers pants and she goes to jail. Nice civil suit. JK

Lawns and spring clean ups. Have your parents put an add in a local newspaper.

I don't see how this is a technical issue. I read it over like 3 times and don't find any technical information in it at all. What I miss?

Im with Daggar...I think we both have answered this same question for you a dozen times and given you some pretty damn good Ideas. What answer are you looking for??? There is no "right" answer, and soon enough you will realize you are going to have to take matters into you own hands and do something about it..In my opinion you have already wasted 3 weeks asking the same question when if you would have applied the same enthusiasm to fixing your car, you would be done!
