wish me luck guys
 
if you all like me spending money on my truck and showing it off in my pictures, wish me luck/pray for me to get my hopefully new job.

the school district i was interning earlier this year has a job opening. i have an interview on aug. 11th. everyone there that i would be working with, wants me to get the job, including one of the persons doing the interview :)

i would say i have probably a 90% chance of getting it, i'm hoping.
first thing i would do is buy a new car, since i'm selling the geo.

after that, i dont know, what would you buy for your truck if you were 19, making decent money(enough to bag my truck with 1 pay check) and living at home, with few bills?? :devil:

I CAN FINALLY GET MY DENT FIXED!!!!!
and tires..
and gears/posi
airbags???
fuel injection???
super charger???



:burnout:

oh, my dream car is a 1957 Hardtop vert. , 283FI 5 speed 4.10 gears ORIGINAL corvette

i would KILL for one. hell, i would sell my truck for pretty much a shell(frame and most of the body)

edit: i'll be buying a grand prix gtp though

Good luck with the job Eric!

Fuel injection is fun, but paying for high performance parts for fuel injection isn't! :D

Grand Prix GT part is nice. But I can't go for the supercharger part of the P. GTP's are supercharged right? I had a Buick Park Avenue that was supercharged. It sucks having to buy premium gas for a V6. Besides all that, them things torque stear something awful being front wheel drive. Save some money and go for the regular GT.

swervin ervin 08-04-2004 12:39 AM

Oh, and good luck with the job. :)

ocbaud 08-04-2004 12:43 AM

gtp of bust!

actually, i've been looking around at lots of different cars on autotrader. cant decide what i want. needs to be something decent on insurance too. i would love an impala SS, but they are lots of money.

i was also looking at around a 94-96 bmw 325is. i dont know how insurance or repairs are gonna cost on that though

Destructo 08-04-2004 12:55 AM

Yeah, I hate you now...

I'm stuck working at Panera Bread for 6.75/hr. hoping to get a job at a computer shop, but probably won't make much more money, but it will be a much nicer job and hopefully help me get my foot in the door somewhere else.

i'm making 6.50 an hour now at ace hardware.

oh yeah, the "bags with one pay check" is true.

but we get paid once a month.

i think salary wise its about $34,000 a year starting, including benifits(dental, health, etc..) hourly wise it is something like 15.72 an hour

DAMN!! Now I feel robbed!! I only make $12-$13 an hour doing the same thing, and I've been doing it for 3 years! At least you found the way to easy money Eric :cool:

r0lf- 08-04-2004 01:07 AM

Ive got an Idea! THROW IT IN THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT! :D

Seriously. I wouldnt go too crazy on the truck, some money for a rainy day isnt too bad of an idea.

C&C Chevy 08-04-2004 10:25 AM

r0lf-, he's 19. Not gonna happen! :lol:

Good luck with the job, Eric. Is it at Mid-Del? I thought you said you were interning there at one point.

yeah, mid-del.

the interning was part of a program with the votech. first year they had it. i actually had a part in creating it.

instead of being at school half the day, i would be working there from 12:30-4:30, getting paid and getting an A in votech

79BIG10 08-04-2004 11:37 AM

Good luck Eric!! I've had some great luck as of late and hope it rubs off on you. Hell I even got a pic of my "great luck" ;) PM me for details :D

8t5Silverado 08-04-2004 12:50 PM

I would say a savings account or college tuition.

Why not get your own place with the extra cash? Buy a small house while interest rates are still low.

I hate to break it to you, but these trucks are not great investments...that doesn't mean I am going to stop spending money on mine, though.

LOHRTBT 08-04-2004 02:24 PM

Good Luck Eric....But how in the hell are you gonna be getting paid that much as a teacher in oKlahoma??

r0lf- 08-04-2004 05:01 PM

Hell, im 19 too. But if I was bringing in that kind of cash I would definitely put some away for a rainy day. Or move out... :rolleyes:

Independance is a beautiful thing.
