86mustang5.oh · May 11, 2006

well im goin to be making 8.50 and hour this summer and 40 hours a week and i know that isnt much but im still in high school im pretty happy about it

and i was wondering waht would you guys do with the money. i am either getting the whole saleen kit and do my suspension up OR i was gion to get a top end kit of some sort... or mayeb just throw one together with some afr 185s
just wondering what you guys think i should do

8.50 for high school is not bad. you will notice after you start getting checks that you have more money than most of the other teenagers.

anyways, I would go for looks first cause that's what's gonna help pickup chicks.

if u need a car that looks good to get a car then somethings wrong . but around here if ur car is fast then its fast no matter what it looks like and girls go for speed around here(we have smart ones) ]

as far a getting a top end kit. i wouldnt. alot of people are going that route now days. i wont a combo that i put together that way u know what work well with what when u go to do something new but maybe thats just me

True, but no sense in just burning the money unless you have a purpose for it. Sounds to me like it's burning a hole in his pocket before he even gets it...

If your happy with your car then spend money on it but if you think you are going to want a new one then put some in the bank. Are you going to keep this job or a job during school? Because if not then you might want to save some money for gas and oil changes.

I dont know any fine hoes that would get in a funky looking car. but that's just me. I only hook up with 9's and 10's

Yeah I am only 17 and i just built up a 89 mustang sc. I am making $11 an hour and am only a jr in school. I just quit work last month and now that i have had to do all of these upgrades such as injectors-fuel pump and tune i have been taking money out of the bank and killing my account. If i was you i would put some in the bank and spend the others on little things that you would like to do to the car.

90lxfoxbody · May 11, 2006

when i was 18, minimum wage in alabama was a whopping $3.80 an hour. i managed to get by and still put a little ( and i do mean little ) money in the bank. so i say figure out exactly what you want for your car then go for it - and of you have any money left over bank it and consider yourself lucky. you got what you wanted and you have a little cash left over.

SPEND IT ALL. WASTE NO PENNY ON NO GIRLS.. if your cars nice/fast enough - theyll give it up for free :]

speaking from experience im 18, and ive "invested" well over 5.5k into the engine.. 1.5k into the stereo.. 1k in the rear.. and 2k in rims/tires.. 4.5k in buying the actual car - and regret NONE of it.

mind you, i bought everything working a 40hr week making 11 an hour - no help at all.

put it in the car.. its WELL worth it

Most girls I know laugh when a import comes into town the only thing that gets there attention is jacked up trucks and loud V8's that sound like they want to stall at the lights. But then agian I live in a little hick town (pop 6500) and no boby even sells import stuff (wings and fart cans)
