What do you do to do what you do?

[ZenkiOwns]

okay guys I've started a few of these threads over the years and it's interesting to find out what your fellow enthusiasts do to pay for there cars. (employment, selling your body doesn't count.)

Guess I'll start.

I'm a sales associate at Best Buy. It pays for minor mods, but waiting to start/finish school for the big stuff.

I'm always curious how guys my age afford swapped cars with no mommy/daddy help.

Let's get this started!

Since selling your body doesn't count Farbin won't be posting here. :nice:

I work part time at Staples as a sales associate doing the same thing you do at Bestbuy, selling all around electronics. I work about 15-20 hours a week while being in my third semester of college. Since most of the money go towards gas and insurance, the E30 fund is relatively empty.

I'm an IT technician for a school district, still in school for accounting though because working in a pay capped union controlled job is not my idea of a career. I make a grip of money on the side with my own IT services business which funds cars and car related accessories.

I'm sure there is one or 10 of these threads already on here, but I'll play along until it gets locked.

Technical Writer for a defense company.

I roast coffee in the winter and work as a bike mechanic for the summer. I've been doing the bike tech deal for the last five years, but this is my first season doing the coffee thing. Previously I worked professionally in kitchens for about 11-12 years. All of this barely supports my car habit, but does allow for lots of snowboarding and biking.

Does selling other people's bodies count?

[ZenkiOwns]

Yes. Yes it does.

I am partner in a small manufacturing firm that makes light construction & landscaping equipment. I tend to handle the technical side of things (job was easier before we started making laser-guided graders).

I'm a lot porter/detailer at a local independent auto shop. We specialize in BMW's, Rovers, Mini's, Audi, VW.. pretty much anything european. I work about 40 hours a week and hope to go back to school at some point for a degree in Computer Science.

Washing nice cars in the sunshine and listening to your own tunes can't be beat! Well... nvm. lol

[delatlanta1281]

I am old with a good job and an understanding woman.

[ZenkiOwns]

I did detailing at Baker Motor Company for a while. The specialize in Infinity, Smart, Mercedes, Maserati, Porsche, etc. We were also subcontracted by BMW and Volvo.

I feel you on that job, I miss it. But I don't miss being in direct sunlight in 105 degree days, and getting wet in the winter. But it was easy good money!

I make over double minimum going working at Fred Meyers (grocery store) and am not management. I am also going to college for Computer Science. Mommy and Daddy didn't pay for my engine swap, but they do pay for school and housing up here.
