number of registered forum members, divided by redline of a GSL-SE, multiplied by rated capacity in liters of a GSL-SE engine, multiplied by gas-tank capacity in gallons of a GSL-SE.. plus 1.

What?!.. you don't have those numbers memorized?

I make money

I buy a car around $100, I clean it up, check the value, make it run good, sand it down paint it( IF it is worth it), and then sell it "for what I put in to it+ and extra 1/2 of that= 1/2 of profit . I bought the rx7's to do that, but just can't to seem to get rid of them (plus my girlfriend LOVES' EM) I am tooo attached to them also So I keep them and buy somthing WITHOUT a rotary so I don't fall in love with it too .
LATERZ,

29 (and loving it)

Currently own 85 GSL-SE all leather, all options, showroom condition.
Recently gave my brother my 85 S, he fully digs it.
Previously owned 81 GSL beautiful ride, died a horrible death almost 10 years ago.

Trying to talk my wife into buying a 7, I'll have to teach her how to drive a stick, heh-heh.

I'm a happy man.

Satrtin to fell kinda old...like I have to act my age around people now. That sucks.

what??

I work on everything I can get. I earned over $800 this summer! What I mean is I saved $400 and bought a car for $100 and put $200 into it two days later, and sold it for $450 with a $500 price tag . Do the math *****, $150 profit(in one week). Add $450to my other $500 = $950 total, repeat the proccess x3= $1400. Don't under estimate me just because I am 14, and figured out how to make a successful investment/bussiness before you, that is no reason to critisize me in you ignorant disbeliefe!!! You should be encouraging kids like myself to be attempting to rebuild a rotary on money the made with there investment/business, dahh!!! Anybody gonna back me up on that one???

it costs $50.00 to list a car on ebay,there just went $50.00 out of your profit,not to mention 80% of people who bid on cars on ebay are bag bidders.

you really didnt think of good buisness ideas before me,i thought of some great stuff my self at 13,but considering i was working signing people up for the freepress at that age,and even though the more you sell the more you make,i was still only making on average $150.00 per week.

Oh not to mention I was the top sales rep in a group of 25,each group consisting of 5-15 people.

anyway at 13 my family was pretty broke,this means i had to pay for my own clothes,food,that includes lunch money everyday,winter coats,toys,such as bikes,skate boards,my own phone line,etc.

anyway by the end of the week i would have about $50.00 left over,it would have taken me a month just to save up $100.00

now if my family was upper class then it would have takin only a week to save up that $150.00

hey if its true kudos to you,the only way to go nowadays is own your own buisness.

i currently own three buisnesses,and im president of the michigan rx7 club.

good luck,and im really not a *****,your story just sounds far fetched,we can do a poll if you would like,to see how many people agree with you or me.
