I know many of you on the board are just like me:
-caught the whole "Get Fast" bug
-Young college or even high school student
-trying to balance having a active social life
-working to support yourself/car

Well to truly get fast I figured it out.. Just live by a strict budget for a few months.. The real killer is FOOD!!!

Here's how I cut back.

If you have to eat top ramen to buy parts for the stang, get a new job or go back to school.

Or get you a new bottom bitch to buy this food shit for you.

wow, I'm all for saving money but if that's your sole diet you really should ditch the soda for water and at least mix in some frozen chicken breast that you can grill, or make a huge batch of lasagna which you can eat for a week or 2...

Ditch the soda for water it's free use the money you save on the water for frozen chicken like the other person said or a faucet filter for the clean water

Aha. Don't worry about our health. It's not like we would do this for the rest of our lives. It's just temporary. And I have a good paying job and do not have rent to pay. But if your lives are like us we are out during the day. School in the morning work in the evening. Parents don't cook anymore or buy food for us, so we were spending a bit over $10-$12 on food a day after class and on our lunch break at work. And our house is supplied with plenty of water. Just because you don't see it in the picture doesn't mean we don't drink it. Sometimes people just want a bit of flavor. And the top ramen is just to help us cut back it's not a 3 times a day meal. I also bought spaghetti Os franks and meatballs lol. Odwalla and other healthy drinks cost to much. A good reason why America is so obease Is because all the healthy foods cost to much. But lucky for me I have high metabolism.

If you have to adjust your way of living to buy mods, you need to re-prioritize your life.

What are you talking about. This is an investment for us. Just like when people have families and want to move from an apt to a home they have to cut back on spending and there family events. Just like us. We want a faster better car, Sacrifices have to be made. If you want something bad enough. You do what it takes, but the right way. Not like some people who may steal parts and sale drugs to get fast. My sig says it all. Read it and let it soak in your head.

I see nothing wrong with what you are doing as long as there is money in the budget for toilet paper, soap and toothpaste.

Don't even trip guys. Many on this site are overly critical. Being that I also work full time in the morning, go to a university full time at night, and want to be fast I know how you guys feel. I do the same of living at home until I graduate and my parents don't really worry about cooking all the time since me and my siblings can all fend for ourselves. But it is amazing how much money you waste a day/month on food. $4 in the morning for breakfast, $5-8 on lunch and a drink at work, and another $5-8 after class if the parents didn't cook or there is no leftovers. That's nearly $20 a day that you waste on food that isn't really healthy either. Yeah we can all cook mass amounts of food but during finals week, mid-terms or when you gotta stud there isn't always time. Sometimes depending on your job its impractical to try and carry a full days worth of healthier perishable food with you when you leave the house in the morning @ 7am and don't get home until 11pm that night after class or studying. For a long time I lived off of cereal & milk, noodles, frozen chicken breats/nuggets, canned soup and $5 footlongs. And I still do minus the high sodium items. Spending $60 on cheap food that will hold you over for weeks isn't a bad idea. And if your disciplined enough to institiute money saving options into your budget and route that money to your car than why not. Not everyone starts out a baller, and everyone here has cut back on going out or buying junk food so you can afford that new set of heads, wheels, tires, blower etc.

^ Just because you aren't fat, doesn't mean you are healthy. I'd really pay attention to the school work and pursue that over a $10 an hour job, you will be much happier in the long run.

haha. rite on 50. i see you had some haters on you carbon fiber stickers. They do not look ricer btw just different. Car looks good though, Although, the stainless would have went good with your chrome saleeens. But i understand you want to be different from the million other termis. As for Cali95gt, He is my cousin and that is my food on there as well. It seems like someone always has something to say when he post up, but we have an answer for everything we do or say. even you understand $20.00 a day... [Eek!] i dont eat breakfast though. But 12 or 14 a day is actually what i spend. Add the up, that is $98 a week on food. mutiply that by 4 your spending $392 on food a month. not including going out on weekends or filling up. if your like us our stangs is our dailys for th time being. so gas can be a b**ch.

You are Young and I am sure a few top ramen meal's is'nt going to make a drastic change to Your health, so good for You Bro keep doing what You are doing and more importantly make a plan and stick to it! Plan what part's are going to work togeher, with what You already have, sell what is'nt going to be needed, and in what order You are going to buy and install the part's. Post u Your plan's and get some input to make sure You are heading down the rite path as a few of Us have been down this road before [Wink] .

You are correct there sir... what makes you think anyone is making under $10 an hour [Confused] If I made under $10 an hour than I'd never get fast

Thanks for all the REAL folks who have posted up their input and been through the same stuff I go through just to be fast..

I'm guessing all you guys who are against what I'm doing are:
1. Given "go fast parts" from the parts god
2. a spoiled kid (wish I were)
3. someone not going to school, just working full-time
3. Just another slow as heck mustang hahaha (that's a joke [Wink] )

"For one to get ahead in life and obtain objects of high value, than one must budget"

That's the motto that I live by everyday and it sure is paying off [Big Grin] [Big Grin]
