I work at Tom Thumb. 25 hours a week. Paid everyfriday


Oh, and my car isn't paid all off yet. It's not too hard to afford one of these FC's. It's just it seems hard to mod them and pay for them at the same time.

I have no idea how I have done mine. I used to work at Best Buy making 7.28, and then got promoted to and a raise to 9.68 But I bought all kinds of **** from BB (tvs, movies, cds, games). I have no idea how I bought so much stuff for my car. Honestly, I don't know. I have sooo much stuff that I don't even know what to do with . Now I work at Home Depot making 10 an hour, and I'm spending ALL of that so far on the T2.. I hope to stop that and start saving here REAL soon.... But I guess I've paid for my T2 by umm... Working. Alot.

I plan to start trying to get people to race for cash once the t2 is up and going. street race/drag strip. We'll see how that goes...

Im still saving

I'm VP of Marketing for TLR Multimedia Entertainment Group INC...

Its koo coz im young, and this is getting me ALOT of experience in what I plan on doing for a looong time. Great job, all I do is set up advertising for radio/TV stations, online advertising, banners, concerts, etc etc, anything that has to do with advertising and other stuff. Most of the time I just give final say for ****.

Its just a fancy name, I make 750 a week and I STILL cant afford one, tooooo many damn loans and bills to pay off

Doom, I'm in medical imaging-

and you just gotta BUDGET for your FC, I did a lot of research and found a really clean vert, learned how to take care of her, thanks in part to guys like you here at the forum.
