Started off with a loan in 98, when I was 17.
Paid it off this summer.
Also managed to save a sh*t load of cash through crappy long-houred jobs. ( mostly construction )
Now i've dumped a little over $15000 Cdn into my car.
Haven't drank since New Years.
Quit smoking 3 years ago.

Bought the car with a loan. Car got smoked by a woman in a Grand Am. Paid for engine transfer into parts car with American Express. Have been working the whole time for PAVING COMPANIES. I lay the asphalt by day and tear it up by night.
That, and delivering pizza. Yes, in my FC. I normally get one comment a night on how ******* fast the order shows up on the customer's doorstep.
Planning on becoming a Registered Massage Therapist, btw. I'm just squeaking by with my current jobs (that and paving is a bite in the *** - I'd like to end my work day W/O being covered in diesel.) I'm very good at massage and the idea of eventually working from home for $60+ an hour is kind of appealing. And think of the tires I could buy!!!

Dude, MASSAGE THERAPY is overloaded with people. We got people advertising on the radio for $25/hr coming to your house! Make sure and have the "school" that is feeding you this line show you a copy of all the graduates TAX returns with this 60/hr!

I'm a cook at one of the city's nicest 'non-formal' restaurants. I make $7 an hour as a regular cook, $7.50 an hour when I'm head cook (which is about half my shifts) + $10 in free food on my head cook shifts. It's a good job, I get another 50¢ raise next month (I've recieved 2 already since I started working there in April)
My car sucks every daggone dime of my salary too...you'd think my girlfriend would get mad...

Ouch. Thank god I'm not a teenager anymore. No disrespect but I'm glad the days of 7 and 8 dollar an hour jobs are long gone. I work for a privately owned linen company in the bronx and I'm spending money on my car hand over fist. I just installed an act 6 puck racing clutch, HKS super AFR and a racingbeat header and presilencer. The car is currently getting a fresh coat of paint and new rims and tires. I think the apex N1 dual will be my next purchase! To all those with shitty jobs.....Learn to bartend! easiest money you can make as a young guy, Not to mention the pu$$y parade you get to witness every night!

I used to have a job then I stopped working for about 6 months. Then I bought my fc with the money I got back from totalling my civic. Ive only had it for about 2 months now but I guess I can afford it now that I just got a good paying job. The rest of the money I had from the wreck bought me Tein HA's, Blitz SBC-ID, Blitz Power Meter, and a Blitz DTT ID.
