Default how to pay for mods!

i see all these trucks with a good bit of $$ in them. how do yall afford this. im not making a killing but im doing ok and i cant afford much. im trying to see what the trick is to paying for all this. i would sell myself on the streetcorner for stuff for my truck but no one would pay. id sell my left ******** for the stuff i want to do to my truck and use the right one to tip the person if it came with a 6.0 turbo setup. lol j/k.

Haha it gets addicting, I sold my racing 4-wheeler just to buy a built transmission. I have a decent job during the summer and don't have any bills yet, so thats how/when I buy mods..

I've seen guys on Tech charge mods to their credit card, which is stupid IMO though..

well if you use a credit card smart its not too bad. i have 2, bestbuy and kays---i bought my laptop a few weeks ago so i decided to apply for a card. i got a $500 limit and 0% for 6 months. the laptop was $950 so i have plenty of time to pay $450. i did the same thing when i wanted a nice watch from kays. interest rates are crazy so just pay it off before the interest goes on it.

Start looking for a better paying job, I know its not easy but I can imagine how hard it is at that pay rate. Im thinking hard about selling my bike too.

Time is Money, most people dont buy everything you see at once. A couple hundred here and there over a period of time adds up. Now for the big stuff just save up!

OHH and do it right the first time, Like trannys for example
Matt, White1 has been through what seems like 6 trannys i believe or more lol!
Anyways if he would have purchased that FLT65e the first time like i did he would have saved himself thosands of dollars for other mods instead of all of those rebuilds.
