well i did work over the summer at mustang engineering which paid for all my stuff during the summer. during school is a different story. for now my parents are paying my tuition and apt (made them a deal and may have to get a loan soon haha) so i just have to take care of my food, gas and extras. well my dad is on board with this mod so thats the ok to spend extra money on it but really it comes down to i drove into town and sold my step bars and the brush guard i had on my old dodge along with a refund on my books and its gonna cover the bumpers and wheels. gotta love craigslist. hope to sell my chrome wheels and toolbox and get the rockers done and a black box and once the heads sell those are gonna be smoked versions and nightshading the tails thursday.

cliff notes = buy and sell, craigslist

Shoot, sell your books back to Chegg.com. They pay damn good for your books. Just got a $40 Visa card in the mail for 2 books that the UTA bookstore weren't buying back.

As for your summer job, did you know a Mr. Allan Taylor?
