Countdown to my newest toy
 
*Yay for me!!*

So I secured a new job with my current one. You are now looking at a new JVC rep. That's right biotches. $10 an hr @20hrs a week (I only work Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun)...let's do the math. That's $200 a week x 4 weeks $800 x 12 =$9600 (tax free mind you...it's on-base). My contract is good for one year, and it's automatically renewed at the end of my contract year...that's a sweet deal I'd say.

So for my new toy....I've got my eye on a 3rd gen RX-7....the pimp wagon can be my daily driver....the Seven will be the Sunday driver. After checking out Autotraderonline....it seems that turbo 93's are going for less than $10k....can my dream be realized? If not, gimme a reality check...just a reminder, my REGULAR job I pull in just over $1,2xx.xx k every 2 weeks...so regular bills and shit is already covered.
Holla atcha' boy one time.
Regards,
Phil

i'd be REAL leary of an FD for $10K. If you're serious about buying one I know a guy here in Irondale who has a VERY nice, very Fast FD for about $14.5K....just been repainted, full bolt-ons...makes about 330whp.

It'll be a year or so though...but the $10k FDs are my last ditch choices.

Just make sure you make a budget for "FD repairs". I hear they can be quite costly.

My Mom STILL has her 1989 RX-7 GTU...that's a monster....I'd even settle for a 2nd gen T.

A second gen turbo II would be more reliable. Congrats on the job...Gawd..how long has it been since I made only $10 an hour......

Finding a 2nd job paying that..while only working 3 days a week and earning your money tax free is pretty good. I wish it were more...lol. I can't wait to get out and become a contractor for teh BIG dollar$ in the desert...that's where the money REALLY is. You make abouot $50 an hour JUST DRIVING A BUS OF PEOPLE to and from work...granted..it is HIGH-RISK...but definitely if you want the money a good deal I suppose.

that's not bad man...wasnt trying to belittle you at all, in fact it was more that I was marveling at how old I am.... :bt:
