What do you guys do to pay for your mods?

  

WhitePony02 -> What do you guys do to pay for your mods? (7/26/2007 4:57:29 PM)

I've been working for $6.50 for a few months now, and that's absolute crap. I was just wondering what you all do to pay for your mods, I see a lot of you guys do stuff like rear end build up, exhaust, body work, UDP, CAI, wheels. That stuff isn't cheap, so what do you all do to pay for your mods?

Right now I have an exhaust and some vinyls on the back, I'd have more mods I just can't pay afford it with my job. BUT good news for me, the Dodge (I know, this is a FORD Mustang forum) dealership just called me this morning and the guy was asking when I can start working. He said I'll start at $8 and move up to $9 in a month. When school starts I'll be working 30 hour weeks, so I'll have some mods going. I'm just wondering how you all are doing.

Please don't move this to general, there aren't many comments there. And if you're like 40 years old with a career and a large savings account, its pretty obvious how you pay for your mods. This is mainly for the kids in school to talk about how they pay for everything.

I really don't know. Ask the girlfriend. She gets mad that I never buy HER anything, and I spend all my money on the car [:D].

I buy little things in bunches. Then one big purchase (like new amps I'm getting soon). Look around the For Sale section. I get a lot of stuff used. Or I will buy the part, whatever it is, then just throw it in the garage until I have time to install it or money to take it to get installed, especially if it is an awesome deal I just can't pass up.

And selling stuff on eBay...It's actually very good way for money, I have a lot of stuff my grandma gives me for free from work (perfumes etc..) and I sell textbooks people don't want.

Now wouldn't that be nice!

I'm 18 and well believe it or not i'm actually goin to have more money when i start goin to school in the fall i think. I pretty much have everything paid for through scholarships [:D] and since I did get those scholarships and my parents don't have to help me withe tuition etc. they're going to pay for my housing for the year! So i can just save my money and start the mods (after I get some rims and tires [:@])

right now im jobless and before that i had to make car payments and save for collage but now im just making buy and looking for a job in PA

and $650 sucks my last 3 jobs were $750 $900 and $850

Jimmz -> RE: What do you guys do to pay for your mods? (7/26/2007 6:30:31 PM)

I am 20, and I make $16 an hour working at best buy, and I am also a full time student which makes it even harder to save and work more hours. I have two bank accounts, one I use to pay the bills and the other is my savings account. That way I always save money, and when something that I want to buy comes up, I have the money to buy it....

Well I'm only 17, and a senior in high school. So I'm thinking, work hard get some mods and put cash in the bank for college.

jthorn9 -> RE: What do you guys do to pay for your mods? (7/26/2007 6:50:44 PM)

Hmm.......I currently make $12.19 with only gas, insurance, repairs, and a small college loan payment I'm starting on early, needless to say, I have a lot to play with.[8D]

I get all most stuff mostly from
www.mustangsunlimited.com but other sites I buy from include:
www.mgw.ltd.com
www.uprproducts.com
www.autobadges.com
www.americanmuscle.com
www.hosetechniques.com

as well as maybe one or two others. I am moded well enough that I can manage to pull off sponsorship based discounts, but generally speaking I just try to find the cheapest site and go with them.

I know what you mean. When you're 18 you can work as a waiter and they make bank off tips. My one friend brings home $100 a night in tips. That's in just a 6 hour shift.

i bang fat chicks...
ya know fat chicks need love too, BUT THEY HAVE TO PAY












not really lol, bag groceries at publix for $7.50 an hour
too bad they hired a bunch of 14 year olds and started giving me 10 hours a week
once school starts back up ill be going back to my 25-30 hours a week

WhitePony02 -> RE: What do you guys do to pay for your mods? (7/26/2007 8:28:30 PM)

Ew dude, I read publix as pubix, which is the same as pubics.

spoke2go1 -> RE: What do you guys do to pay for your mods? (7/26/2007 8:36:33 PM)

im more of a bald eagle guy myself
