I work for a sweep stakes company. You know the people who send in post cards and crap to enter a sweepstakes. I take those post cards and enter them into a data base. Its a per unit basis. I type extremely fast so i can do about 150-170 in an hour. But most people average between 50-80 so for the fastest of them still only make like 9 dollars an hour.

think u can hook me up with a nice little win??

[ganador01]

Hmm anyone else hit the 10000 dollar mark?

 

[2001stang]

if i get a procharger then i might..... then again where would i get that extra $4000 at??..............

 

[ganador01]

Im thinking about dropping the whole nitrous setup. Im tired of refilling my bottles. I dont like only being able to go fast when i spray. I race way too often and spraying is too expensive of a hobby. Shoot another 4 grand. Who cares.

 

[Scho54]

My rims around 800
Tri-ax shifter 180
Mac cai 139
Front and rear bumpers 225 from MPS
exhaust 800
around 2 grand.

That seems to be the going rate. I guess im just stupid and throw my money around too much. I coulda easily bought a gt with the extra money but i still dont want to pay the insurance. I probably could have done an engine swap or at least a supercharger but i chose to change the way it looks every 6 monthes since ive owned it. I think like i said before ima sell the nitrous set up and go for a procharger. Or, a turbo if the price is right.

 

[JDMsTangR]

Rims and tires - $1100
Exhaust - $400
D/C - $100
Pulley - $150
Gt bumper - $125 plus $250 install and paint
Springs and shocks - $500
Shifter - $170
Subframe connectors - $100
Other Stuff - $500

About $3400 done and not stopping.

See, but ur car is fast. Money spent wisely

 

[bgjohnson]

I also don't want to get into" oh yeah I put more into it" but including the car, it's abut 5-6 grand and I don't make alot of money in the span of the one year I put those mods on I made about 4600-5000 so everysingle cent I have pretty much went into the stang, and my parents helped me out, and hey visual mods aren't a bad thing you didn't buy the v6 for the incredible speed, but I bet it's quick, and least we know where our priorities are, hehe, and oh yeah i'm pretty sure that is the reason I don't have a girlfriend, next year is visual mods for me and full exhaust maybe that will make the ladies love me, ffppphhh, yeah thats it, hahahaha

oh and 1100 into mostly visual mods deserves a couple of pics so post it up

 

[ganador01]

11000 u mean . I would but people around here get mad when i post pics. Especially mustangsally. If i post one pick she will bitch for many posts to come. If you search the threads for my name, you can find plenty of pics of my car.

I think they should make a money spent list kinda like a time slip list where everyone posts there times. You provide a number of money that you havent spent on ur car and proof and theyll put u on the list. I just wanna be on a top10 of any kind of list other then like the lamest car list.
