Im so grounded
 

ok so I took my car out and around the block like 10 times it sounded ****** as hell (valve tap and some knocking sorta like a rub) then I realized I was on E and I went to the gas station and put $10 of regular ( I can do that :) ) and there were theese pretty girls in a volvo so Im done and Im sitting at the corner waiting for a chance to go and they come behind me and I see a chance to go so I floor the **** outa my car peeling out half way down the street (its a short street because I had to turn) and then I pull back to my house and my freind comes over and I tell my mom were goin to get an estimate for paint so we go there and we get there at 2:45 and they close at 3 and they give me the estimate (top of the line ****) $1800 included boddy work and there like are you gonna leave the keys here or what I said shure why not and they said they will get started on monday and should be done by thursday next sat. by the latest I was like :!: :!: and then me and my freind took a bus home and when I told my mom she flipped out and kicked me out for an hour and when she finally let me in I had to clean the garage :arrow: :arrow: O yeh Im getting my car painted charcole gray the original color Im not getting ground effects or a different bumper or anything just gonna look stock and after I pay all this **** off Im gonna order wheels and a 84 trans am aerokit and have it painted black

MATT

ps I havent been this happy since I met my ex gf

Do you hav ea license? and a way to PAY for the paint job? lol

I believe he is 14, correct?

yea that's what I'm thinkin

Yea i am totally confused on all this driving around and dropping the car off if u dont have a license? So what basically did she ground you for then?

JW :D

no liscence
I drove it around the block my freind with a liscence drove it to get an estimate ( main roads) I have about 250 that I was gonna get a guitar with but now Its going to paint I would have had 1200 but I spent it on a cam, headers,y pipe,intake and a catback the only thing I have installed is the catback anyone want to help me put the rest of the stuff I have on? seeing I wont have any money to have it installed??

Ummm, why are you driving it and why are you telling a shop to paint it if you have no money? I can't believe you even have a car at that age. Why would you need to paint it now if you won't be able to drive it for several years? Better call that paint shop and cancel it before they start working on it.

Because We were soposed to have it painted in december and then like 15 things happened to the car and now its runing like a dream

uhhhhh....kid....u make absolutly no sense

I can/would help with all of those except for the cam, and that's solely because I don't know how to swap a cam/never done it before

ya all the driving around makes no sence and also i would do everything to the car that you want done before paint like i am doing/done i just put another rear in today i have to buy my other engine parts then in the spring it will be getting painted. this way nothing will get scratched and **** and i wont kill my self if it does happen. just my 2cents.

Damn that was one big sentence that i've read. And why are you driving at 14?

Well I might just keep it as it is it has plenty enough power for me ( as long as it runs) and I rather have a car thats painted that runs with a few scratches from getting a cam installed then waiting to get my cam/headers installed and not have paint.

Ok I honestly didnt drive the car around the block I lied...My freind who has a 1986 tojan drove it and I sat in the passangers seat....yeh Im a lier but hey at least my cars getting painted :)

:werd: and where do u plan on getting the other $1550 for the paintjob? :confused:

My mom and I agreed that every penny that goes into the car I will pay off with intrest and then to your questions why not just get a better car with mor hp and paint? I dont want another car Im in love with this one

you are one weird kid. you do know that if they paint your car and you cant pay it then they will keep your car and sell it right?!! they have the right to do that. you shouldnt even be painting the thing until your ready to drive it.

if you like the car, work on it the way you want.
**** you guys not telling him not to enjoy his car. if i had a car when i was his age i sure as hell woudl have worked on it too.
starting now, by the time he gets his license, that car will be completely bad ass. let teh little ricers at his school try to **** with him. thirdgen tail lights is all they will get

Dude, wtf man.... thats retarted to lie online, and even more stupid that you admitted it....luckily for you, these guys are more forgiving than i am, because i surely wouldnt help you

:werd: wtf i dont get it. Were you trying to impress us or something by saying that you drove your car around the block?

Mods before bods. Seriously, a car that has serious performance but not so great of paint, is way better than a pretty car that's gonna get scratched up while you try to make engine improvements after you paid a bunch of money to have it look that nice. Besides, if it's not a looker, at least it can be a sleeper. Of course, both the paint and performance together are great for the total package appeal, but realistically, it's usually best to put the money towards making sure it runs like a champ continuously first. And if you really do think after a paint job that is as expensive as the one you're getting, that it's gonna get scratched when you install a cam, for the love of god, install the cam with the yucky paint. or at least protect the new paint with a tarp or something. Sorry, i'm done my rant. that's just two cents and the way I see it, but it's your car, and your money, not mine. Good luck. ;)

While I have no idea what the hell is going on, point comes down to this..

How are you gunna pay these guys that are gunna paint your car? Did your mother take out a loan? Did you set up some sort of payment plan with the shop? Why did you buy parts for the car when you knew full well that it was gunna cost you X amount of dollars to paint it? I understand your ambition, but it sounds like you dont have a game plan here. You are just going about, doing what you want, with no goal or goals outside that you want to drive the car, which you wont really be able to do, legaly, till you are at least 16.

You shouldnt lie, especialy to us. We dont find it cool that an uninsured 14 year old is driving around with a car like that. We will help you out, but there is no need to lie like that.

My little brother is helping me with the 72, because one day Id like to give it to him as his bday present, and something for him to drive to school on nice days. It was that or buy a kit car hot rod, and have him drive that to school. Both would be bad ass. Good luck, but come up with a game plan first. No one will help you out if you know what you want to do.

Well its just that all the kids aroud here joy ride there moms car and everything and I DONT and they make fun of me and **** and I thought that you guys would be like wtf man just drive it your self you little pussy ( happened On a different forum) I do park/move the car in the drive way but thats different... SORRY GUYS

Ok, now answer the question of how you plan on paying for this? I dont think you have a job as you cant get working papers till you are 15 or 16.

I mad 1200 in less then a year sitting on my ass
Im sure I will make at least 1000 this year
plus christmas gifts are going towards the car and I have a part time job with my freinds dad you can work at farms when you are 12 in nj and I get payed to snow blow peoples houses

remind me not to come to your neighborhood, i dont wanna be hit by a 14 year old joy riding a car...


on another note...good luck with the whole money thing.
