Helping Others Build Their Trucks... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

OK so i am sure that this is going to sound really really far fetched here but i figured what the hell its worth a try...

so i am a college student here in bozeman, MT taking 17 credits and trying to make as much money as i can but the job i have now at a lawn care company i can only get a bout 15 hours a week because of school and home work and i have saved every dollar but that i havent spent on food and rent, but i was lucky enough to have a great job through high school back home and bought my self a tacoma, but now that i moved away i dont have that any more. and i have been saving money for two years to do modifications to my truck and i wasnt planning on doing any thing extravagant just a lift and some new wheels because i do a lot of mountain biking and hunting and have to drive on some crazy trails but i get a little scared because of ground clearance issues but i ending up having to spend it all on tuition and book so that really sucked...

But i was thinking maybe we could do some thing like passing the buck and we can maybe try to help every one out by sending a dollar or two to help people do what they have dreamed of doing to their trucks, i mean even if say 50 people send a dollar that can go a long ways. and i would say the only requirement would be to post pictures of you truck with the what you have done afterwards

i know call me stupid for doing this but what do i have to lose but i am willing to send a dollar or two to anyone els that is in need

Please don't take this the wrong way (just my opinion) but....finish school find a good job and take satisfaction in paying for things (mods) yourself without a hand out. I know your working hard in school and you did before you started. But I really don't think many guys are going to help finance your mods.

5 posts and you're asking for money? I think most folks who have been around here for a while are very generous with their time, helping out other memebers with their installations, but if you can't afford a mod, you probably should be saving your money for other things in the first place (such as tuition and books). The gotta have it now mentality is what broke the economy in the first place...

First off, for a college student, you have WAY too many run-on sentences,

But that's besides the point.

I fell your pain, I'm currently going to GMU here in NoVa and money is really tight for me as well. Something that has helped me pay for any extras I have wanted (and trust me, there have been very few) is just putting a certain amount of your paycheck away each time you get paid. I make the choice of saving 5% of every paycheck for savings so that I can spend it on mods, extras, hunting, the bar, etc.

Trust me buddy, I feel your pain but work hard at school to get a great job and the rewards will be amazing.

P.S. I'm not trying to start a financial advice thread here

I've seen this Simpsons episode. But you need an autodialer like the old time telemarketers used. Then just dial anyone you can and offer happiness for a dollar.

Or you could get a 900 number, and charge something like $100 a minute when people call you. Then have your cell phone number set to call forward to the 900 number. Then when people like your parents or friends call, they'll all end up having to give you $100 dollars. And all YOU had to do, was not answer their calls.

Sorry if I sound like an ass, but come on dude, jobs make the world go round.

wait, is this guy serious, or is this one of those nigerian scams?!

i too agree w/ the run on, college student statement....

just suck it up and pay for your stuff like everyone else...i know im only 28, but this is the problem w/ kids these days, always wanting all the cool mods, but wanting others to pay for it. sometimes, you just have to do without, thats life!

i was married, taking 16 units of ME classes, working at a restaurant all weekend, doing an internship for my entire senior year, and wanted allied spindles the whole time. guess what, even after over a year at my job, still dont have them...

but if bucks are going around, my paypal address is....

i keep hoping it is a joke!

if not and it works

i worked hard all my life and always wanted a 59 vett

tough times build character
and i have a bit of character especially when i was first married and would work any job for a few bucks

so my advice is

get another job, take longer and save the $
or try and convince everyone why they should take their hard earned dollars and piss them away

You are not stupid, you're just a complete moron......you say you have no money yet you are willing to also send others money??? If you want more mods now just drop out of school and get a full time job. Then you will have enough money to spend on mods

yosh2000 · 10-17-2009, 02:01 AM
