Usually i buy something for my car once a month if i can save the money long enough b4 it burns a hole in my pocket. See below for job status.

 

my job is the lead distribution.

jk, currently in the USMC, one of the few people that get to work on the ah-1z and uh-1z gunships. right now im setting up the courses that will train future marines on these.

 

Recently seperated from the USAF because they were cutting back and since then I have been working in IRAQ with a Army Contractor Kellogg Brown and Root.

 

college student/part time math teacher

so i was always wondering how bunch of the members come up with that kinda money when their in still in school. i guess everyone just goes in debt for the love of their cars

 

i guess so cause even with this thread i still dont see how its done

 

4 words.
high
yield
credit
card

lol

 

exactly

Im 20, 21 next month, was able to finance my car on my own 711 credit score FTW, I have one card that is capped at a 2k limit, it was a 5k limit but I had it reduced but they told me I could have up to 20k limit on the card, I was like no Im good with 2k. I just save the money I dont like putting myself in debt or using the card unless I have to.

 

Can you guess where I work? Haha

 

It's actually really nice to have a high limit card. I have a $16,000 limit on one of my cards, which I never asked for a raise on the cap. Just transfered my ENTIRE student loan onto it, and I've got 0% on transfers. All my other cards are low limits though, $1,800 - $3,000, which is nice because I can't spend much on them .

 

i have the same situation but it doesnt mean u have money. i got my credit car when i was 18 established some good credit over 700 score and i bought my tc on my own did some mods here and there with spare cash but still dont have the money to do some expensive things like turbo custom paint etc... thats why the thread was made. theres gotta be an easier way lol..... i hope

 

I gotta go with the guy who started this thread...I got a great deal for everything I got on my car or got it as a gift but am still a year or two away from anything big (GReddy s/c planned)

springs $150 shipped, leather steering wheel $18 (ebay), header $50 ebay, platinum plugs not irridium, Pioneer head unit-christmas gift, K&N drop in $20, wheels were traded for because my car came with big heavy-ugly 18s that some Honda guy with light 17inch Konigs wanted to trade for, Michelin and Toyo tires used at $120pr rear-mounted, $90 front, 10m rear spacers ebay $45, emblems-cheap and easy.

DIY everything-that helps keep the cost of the labor down. Gotta love this site.

 

im still on personal debate to go in debt and have 300whp or stick to slow being n/a

ughhh hate being n/a!!!

 

Toyota Salesman and FAFSA helped a lot last year.. hahaha

 

I'm a CAD Specialist. Don't have a turbo kit yet, but I started a budget and should be good to get one in a yr and a half.

For the things I have now, I used my tax refund, some extra cash lying around and birthday money so far. Most of my $ is going towards paying off debt right now.

 

As the way it should be.

 

Eating Cup Of Noodles and Cereal can save you a lot more money than you think, lol, I'm a Volvo Tech. BUDGET, not down w/the credit card debt. I don't even own one, and living at home doesn't hurt either........YES!

 

Gas plumber. i lay pipe all day.lol
