Default How do u afford your mods?

I am 17 work for 6.25 and hour off and on and my parents cover the insurance.
I always hear people talking about going boost and other things and I was just wondering how everyone gets around paying off everything. I have 0 credit and $0 debt so there are good and bad things coming from that. Out of colledge I plan on going and getting a rsx-r or tl-s that is if I am still single and can afford it. I was just wondering how everyone gets around paying for their stuff?

Cheers

when I was in HS and college, I was poor as hell but I did have an 89 MR2 so it was good enough from 1990-1997 (jr year in hs to college). Then I got my masters in chem engineering degree and the $$$ started rolling but my most expense by far is still the mortgage

Don't worry about it, unless your parents are rich, hs or full time college students can't really mod the hell out their car.

my GSR used to focking OWN my life. ****. im kinda glad i got out of it, because i really shouldn't have been spending so much money into it.

im pretty spoiled i guess..i get pretty much any car i want when i graduate from college..hmm rx8/Z/Sti anyone?

i guess my situation is better than those crazy foos that get like brand new super cars when they're still in highschool..

Actually I pay for my car and the stuff done to it by working 40+ hrs a week, doing all my own installs and always trying to find good deals. I only make like $13.75/hr, and it helps that I spend very little money on anything else.
