I really did try to read and help. Until you can form sentences and make my head not want to explode, I'm not trying any more.

My advice is spending the next six months learning to read and write . Until then, stay the **** away from cars and people and animals that can't defend themselves.

And "VTEC" isn't a name of a Honda model or engine family of any kind.

Don't get too big for your e-britches. Until you can use punctuation and the English language to your advantage, don't be shitting on other people who make the same mistakes.

What the hell is a scratchback? You're going to pay someone to scratch your back?? No wonder you have money problems.

hey thanks for that support but i rewrote it so you guys can look at it... i only say scratchback cause thats the nick name me and my homie say for a hatchback or eg6... vtec yes i know it aint all honda engines.. Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control ... the engine suits the drivers needs and commonly has low rpm torque as well as fuel economy... its a technology built and trademark by honda... chill out im doing the best i can trying to get a job and learning more.. you can only learn so much with what you have...

Good, you'll appreciate it more that way.

What kind of VTEC engines? A b18C1 is a different animal than a D16y8.

You can find a 92-95 hatchback for around 2000 dollars if you look. That's not hard to make in 6 months even on minimum wage if you don't go out and waste your money.

Yeah Ill learn to be more wise with the words i choose. The point is yeah, i want to get a 94 hatchback maybe just a D16 since i just need it to get me places till i can make more money to tune it. I want to make it my project car but thats thinking 2 years in advance. What I need to know is what might you do if your 15 half getting your permit in 2 weeks. Drove before and tune cars on weekends and have passion for it. Getting your liscence in half a year and want to be out on the road as fast as possible. What might you do to gain 2000 bucks as Ricey McRicerton said. This is just all i need summed up into one post. Thanks much

Not old enough to play the lottery.

You have a few choices:
Rob a bank. This is risky. You may go to jail. Plus, without a car, how do you plan to get away?

Become a beggar. This is easy, but not for you if your a proud person. Also, beggars can't be choosers, so you may not end up with the 94 hatchback that you want.

Go and apply for jobs until you get one. This is not risky. You may have to work some crappy hours, but it sounds to me like you've never held a job before. Work isn't fun, but it makes you money.

You pick.

I don't know. Why don't you go ask them yourself? Some places require you to be 18, but I don't know if Jiffy Lube is like that.

yeah I remember my first job working at a blueberry patch when I was 14 picking up rocks in big *** plowed fields for 8 hrs a day. When applying at a blueberry patch one is under the impression that they will be picking blueberries, not always the case. Suck it up work hard it will all pay off in the end
