being 16, jobless, and wanting some freakin parts for my car, i need money. after i get a job and work for 6 months, is it worth saving up all that money and waiting so long to buy myself eibachs? or konis? what do i get first? (with 1g)
car: civic si 2002

 

That is a brand new car and you shouldn't touch it until your 18. When you turn 18 you can actually go find a decent job, at 16 you probally get paid peanuts. Don't start working and going into debt that young, I wish when I was 16 I listened to the people who told me not to be in a hurry to start working and spending.

 

<--- started working office jobs at the age of 14. Luckily my parents didn't let me spend MY money on bullshit (pissed me off at the time). Now at the age of 20 I have plenty of cash lying around just waiting for THE great deal to come along.

 

so would it be okay if i started saving up now until i'm around 18? i think i'll just sit here until i'm 18 and eat my peanuts..

 

Yes. Save, save, and save until you have enough to do things the right way. Otherwise you're going to be wasting a lot of money that you don't have to be wasting.

 

what money can i earn with this car? autoshows, strips, what else?

 

save 300 bux and get some ground controls.

 

for what you have to spend - $0. You could put a few grand into it and maybe win a few $50 shows here and there. unless you're an amazing driver or an amazing tuner and you have lotsa money to throw around, you're not gonna be making any money with cars.

 

so wait, i have to different answers here. one says ground controls, the other says wait. hmmmm

 

I'll break the tie for ya- Wait.

I know it sucks now, but you'll eventually be in a position to do everything you want to do to the car, instead of slowly maxing a CC or something as you mod part by part.
