I work as a chef at my dad's restaurant about 30-34 hours a week and go to college studying automotive technology. I make $10/hr but working for family can suck and it does in my case. And it's not enough to support the 3 cars I have and my debt from them all. Someone buy my IROC and lincoln!! haha..

Hey 83 MidniteZ, just make sure you don't go past a 75 on the nova's. They started to go family then. 74 is the last year of the muscle, I have one. Just watch the weigh in the rear end, I have heard they can be kind of light.

Is it me or no matter how much you work, it seems you never have enough for the car?

So true.

I am a CNC Programmer for Custom Machine and Fabrication http://www.custommach.com The pay is very good but after paying for my 2000 Z71, the wife's 1999 Malibu, and the 2300 sq ft house on 3.6 acres of land we recently bought kinda limits how much I can spend on my cars. I really want to get the SS hood painted on my RS and I have a set of 91 Z28 GFX I want to put on my 82, but I'll need them painted too, but all that will have to wait a few months. I'm glad I have got my cars about 90% of the way I want them though, because it would almost impossible to start over on either of them in my current situation. I kinda wish I had the several thousand $$$ I had in each car back sometimes, but I would have probably wasted it anyway, and at least I have 2 nice thirdgens to show for it.

going to school at University of Missouri-St. Louis as criminal justice major (i'll be a junior), can't decide whether to get into law enforcement in st. louis or in my hometown of kansas city kansas, currently working in "loss prevention" at Target. it pays the bills (girlfriend's ring, insurance, gas, credit cards, all that crap).

every time i think i'm close to being able to afford my dream car ('88 GTA), something else comes up and takes my money. CRAP!
