You live in Las vegas huh? Im sure theres something there a 14 year old can do to make money in Vegas. lol

Ive seen this same post all the time about how can I make money to get this...... Well heres a little news for you. Between the ages of 16-19 are about the only time your really gonna have to money to spend on rc.. Cuz when your about 19 youll have enough bills to wipe out a large portion of your checks. Moral of the story is, start spending that money or rc stuff now, cuz when your 20 youll be thinking the same thing, 'how am I gonna afford this' lol.

I was pretty harsh on that last post but heres some real info for you. If your serious about making money you can go house to house asking to wash peoples cars. I almost forgot that me and a freind did that for awhile. We would walk up to peoples houses and ask if we could wash their car for $5 or 10 and alot of the time we got the job cuz people were happy to see ambitious kids. Just carry a bucket, soap, and rags and your set. Im sure you could get 5 cars a day if you were with a freind. Thats $25 a day. Do that for a week straight and your set for an awesome amount of upgrades for your mini-t.

i hate living in the suburbs cause they deliver papers by car now[:@] what my cousin did is you stand on the street corners waving those signs that point to the new housing developments... i think they should let a 14 year old do it... i think he was either 14 or 15 when he did it
