How the hell...

I didn't know whether to stick this in off topic or here because it does have something to do with cars. So if I got it in the wrong one... sorry.

How the hell do some people get all this damn money to do shit to their cars? I know not every single one of them comes from a rich daddy. I worked my ass off at my last job for quite a bit of dough and still don't have shit.

All I have been able to do to my car was I dropped in a brand new engine and threw the widest Firehawk Indy 500's I could fit on my rims on the back. And that was only because my parents gave me a $2000 loan. I see some people roll around in cars that you can tell have had $1000's of dollars put into it... and they're my age. I wanna know what they're doing, but I never get to talk to them so I can't find out.

This might sound dumb, but I'm too frustrated to think at the moment. What do you think would be the best line of work to quickly raise cash for car modifications. Keep in mind I'm only 18 (almost 19). I've tried fast food (hahaha!!), working at a dealership, a warehouse, carpet cleaning, and a tire & service shop (Firestone). Oh, by the way... i hate Firestone's policys. I forget to put oil in one car and I get fired. Geez... all the other shops I've talked to don't care, they just say, "Hey... shit happens." Geez my boss was pissed that he had to fire me, damn this turned into a rant more then anything. Maybe I should apologize if you read this? Sorry for the length anyway.
