advantage of money making opportunities. i made a lot of money (more than 5k) gambling online back when they had a lot of promotions and deals. also, i was able to afford my body kit because some guy hit me and i got a high estimate and got a big check from their insurance company and got it serviced at some cheaper place. there are ways of finding money without working. right now i'm a full time student at berkeley trying to get into law school so i can't hold a full time job. still i find time to fix up the z (do a lot of stuff myself from info on tt.net). i don't use my parents' charity for upgrading my car. but they DO pay my tuition and living expenses thankfully. =]
