Damn boy! You should start by getting a dictionary, you aren't going to make money anywhere writing like that.

Do yourself a favor and cross the Sarona kit off your wish list, it's not the greatest use of your money. Do a search, there are about 1000 threads regarding the Sarona kit's quality.

What can you do around a dealership while still being a minor? This guy could make some money and work around Nissan's at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone.

I would have to agree with selling crack. It takes very little effort and brings in the big dough. One piece of advice though, dont get high off your own supply. But if you must, then be sure to substitute what you took with baking soda.

If not crack... weed. Go to your local college and sell weed. You'll rake in the bucks.

wait

dude, i am 19, and a college student. There is sooooooo much
s hi t that i want to put on my max, but i am a poor college student, so I can't really get that much. I will wait to the summer and i am actually going to make hella bucks at my job, but as i get older, graduate, and i am in my mid 20s, i will have plenty more time to mod cars, you can only do with what you got, don't be in such a hurry.

BTW i worked in a computer internet classifieds ad business and made around $12.00 an hour in wisconsin, which is nearer to like $15-$16 in bigger cities.

This summer i will be working ona flooring compnay my friends dad owns, we refurbish gym floors, get paid about $30 an hour when we go out of state, but sometimes have to put in 70 hour weeks, so i don't know if you have something like that, but to make a lot of cash, you have to work hard, and work often.

heh, same here... lol.
I'm 19 and make anywhere from 6$-14$ an hour depending on how things go and how much people tip. I get to drive some dope cars though


Other employment suggestions:
-Construction worker, they work early early in the mourning but I know people making good $. If my college schedule wasn't the way it is, i'd be doing it too.
-Moving
-Pizza delivery
-vallet parking
-waiter (friend makes an average of 22$ an hour in a diner, sometimes more.)
-have a big garage sale on ebay, sell everything you don't need.. people buy anything.
sell drugs

Find some old, rich, lonely relative (a grandmother in this example) to suck up to. Then go on a diet and loose a little weight. She's sure to freak out and think you're starving, so she'll give you money. Keep sucking up to her, visit a lot and stuff. Eventually you'll be getting a hefty allowance. And hey, if she's a stingy old coot and doesn't give you much, at least you're sure to end up in her will. So when you find yourself short on cash, you can give granny little extra "help" getting down the stairs one day and you're set.

Disclaimer: This post is only a joke, do not push your grandmother down the stairs 'cause that's bad!

Addendum to disclaimer: I love my grandmother very much and would never want to exploit her in any way, nor see any harm come to her.

I made $10 an hour last summer (when I was 15) by working at a detailer. Best job ever - I cleaned and drove exotic cars and got paid for it! Plus my Maxima was spotless and believe me it still is!

$10,000 - By the time you save up that much money, make sure your dad isn't going to charge you that much for the 98 Max, because its going to be like 2005 before you can accumulate that much money at $6.47 or whatever an hour.

I never thought of doing that. That job has to be amazing. Did you just go to a detailer and ask for a job or did someone help get you the job?

I tried to get a detailing job. The dude there looked at me and almost laughed. He said well, he was really looking for someone with more experience. Translation: I wasn't big and buff enough to fit the image he was looking for. Damn redneck. I didn't want to work for him anyways, so there!
