Being 17 and being able to afford to buy a new camaro IN FULL = Worked my behind off, for then entire school year, beggining of summer, and ordered to two 2ss/rs Only problem now is convincing people that I'm the one that actually bought it -_- . Oh, right, Assistant manager for Vector Marketing, and work part time with random jobs here and there as an "ergonomical engineer/human interaction with mechanical systems engineer". So, engineer/sales manager

IF there's a will, I'll tell you the flippn way. $37,000 in two semesters doesn't happen every day -.- Make a goal sheet, work hard, cross off weekly goals, feel accomplished.

Waiting on IOM 2SS / RS - Door Sills, Roto-Fab CAI, Loudmouth 3" exaust, and GMPP Headers, all ordered and will probably be here before the car

your celly may not have a cord connecting it to the cell tower, but the cell tower has many cords connecting it to you local telephone company!

You have no Idea the hours I put into that after school EVERY DAY, (Weekends my grilfriend claimed, else I be a dead man), basically till 10:30-11 every night after HS from 7:30-3. Studied till 1AM, went to bed. Reset the progeam for tommorrow And now, I'll be getting my camaro hopefully the first week or two of my senior year in high school. But anyways, A LOT of listening to motivational CDs, Goal setting, meeting with customers, and a whole lot of sales, yes, got me 37k in a year while going to school AND......ready for it....? Earning a 4.43 GPA

Me I don't work at the moment. Well I do but nothing that pays yet, starting up a business with my dad. When that gets rolling money will hopefully be a non-issue, at least for my living standards which are pretty damned okay and wouldn't cost me much to add a nice car to that.

Right now I'm living with some help from the parents and off the remains of my tax return

I wish I had your dedication, attention span, and energy. There's no way I could push myself to do that, still study well enough, and not run out of gas. (I'm assuming you're on a scale out of 5 with that GPA? Or I might have to call shenanigans. Or typo...)

Living at home didn't hurt the bottom line though, did it?

Seriously, I would offer you a job working form me, but something tells me I would probably be working for you in about 12 months.

Get away from me.
