I know this might be a weird thread but I was just looking for some advice.

I am working full time, but minmum wage, and I dont make a whole lot of money. I have a96 civic hatch that I have been fixing up for the past 5 months, and basically every check has gone into the car, it's really comming together, now I want to do more things to it then get a new engine.

I know I still have a LOT more money to spend before it becomes "perfect" and the way I really want it to be. I was thinking today ever since I got the car I have been paying more attention to it and not really having any "fun" I am a big gamer, I love video games, I sold my tv and PS3 to help get some cash for my car and I miss it.

I really want to get back into gaming because I enjoy it alot, but I also enjoy fixing my car. I just dont know what to do, should I keep putting all my money twards making my car better? Or start spending it on stuff like games and tv's and cloths and stuff?

I am just looking for advice, I would love to do both because I enjoy both very much, I cant stand driving a car around that I see as "unfinished" but I hate coming home from work and having nothing to do and unwind with.

Sounds like you need a personal loan

How much did you get for your used stuff? Was it really worth it?

Street value for that stuff is pretty low for what it is; i think you shouldnt have done it in the first place. What did you buy wih the money you got?

But thats already done so if you wanna game get a used game console and a small tv. Keep looking through crapslist.org or egay you might come up.

I wouldnt sell my games unless its the last resort becquse of the fact you get a quarter on the dollar when you sell them

I think im just going to leave my car the way it is, I am only digging myself into a hole, I will NEVER get what I put into the car, and im certainly not going to have this car forever, it's only my first car, so I think im just going to spend my hard earned money on stuff I will enjoy the most, and that is games and movies. A car is a car it gets me from point A to point B as long as it's running I am happy.

I am in my car for 30 min a day, thats to work and home.

I am at home for hours, makes more sense I guess. I have seen some great deals on tv's on ebay.

hey man im not even 17 yet and i have most of my check going to my car too, and after 3 months of fixing it up and such i am in process of swaping motor, and i dont even make past 300$

i used to game also VERY MUCH with my 360 and halo 3 as halo 3 was my only income when i was young (played lots of tournaments and won) i say if you can make quick bucks like i did(most ever made was 550$) on just playing games then rock up the gaming and spend the money on your car best of both worlds

people like us that dont make very much spends 2 years on our car to make it everything we ever wanted it to have

czirr321

Cool man, nice to know im not the only one =P I used to play Halo 3, but I like Rainbow Six Vegas more on LIVE, that was so much fun, I miss my 360. Minimum wage sucks! Not only do I struggle trying to fix my car up, I have the pressure from my parents to move out and get an apartment, I will never be able to have a nice car, lol.

Put the 360 IN the car. haha

Sounds like you're just testing the car thing out and you're not really into the wrenching or the driving.
I put 23,000 some dollars into an S14 when I barely made more than that in one year. If I had the opportunity to go back and change it, I wouldn't because I had a blast doing it. Do what you love man and don't let the people repress you. It what America was founded on.

Sounds like you should start considering the military...
