LOL

well, since i was in gr. 7 I have been working. I saved ALOT of money over the years. I bought the car with all my own money and pay for insurance which is $375 a month. I still work like an animal.

Here is my day (mon-fri):

3:30am: wake up
4:30am: i'm working
8:00am: i leave work
8:15am: i'm sitting in 1st period at my high school
2:45pm: school is over
3:00pm: i'm at home
3:30pm: i'm eating and getting ready for work
4:10pm: at work
7:30pm: home from work
8:00pm: eat din din
8:30pm: start homework
10:00pm: done homework
10:00pm: talk to my buddies
11:20pm: sleeping

Anyways, thats how I afford this car. Keeps my busy and it also makes me feel good that I can do all this by myself.

I work at Canpar Transport as a warehouse/driver

PS: i'm only 17

the scissors actually add abuot 12 horsepower. They are very aero dynamic. It is actually painted cf for the handle. They are very lightweight and very dependable.

What else should I do to my hatch ?

I respect a man who works hard to get what he wants. But at the same time, I wonder if you should rather concentrate on your schooling and focus at the main task at hand.

That's not a very good sleeping pattern for a 17 year old.....is it really worth waking up at 3:30am just so u can make a few bucks to buy urself a CF hood???? 4 hours of sleep is half of what a person your age should be getting everynight

It's just a car buddy....
