Funding your racing?

[mikeb]

Just wondering how many credit card racers we have here. I used to be one but now wait until I have money in hand. Waiting sucks :(

[SSlow01]

I don't use credit cards for mods. If shit unexpectedly blows up, I might put something on one temporarily.

[usmcluke]

My car is almost entirely funded by my side business so no websites no mods :mad: . I don't hit the CC for anything especially mods.

BTW...I need mods.

[Streetdemon70]

if i dont have the cash then i dont get it. my car is payed off no sense in payin on the parts that will be going on it

[SEB]

I own my car & pay cash for my all parts

[truestreet5.8]

Learned when I was 18 not to do the CC thing. You never stop needing bigger and badder go fast parts so you never get your debt paid off. All cash now even on the trailer. Thats why it takes 2-3 years every time I change things up. :mad:

[JMAC]

I print my own $.

[usmcluke]

I print my own $.
PM sent. :D

[TOMMY]

budget racer here also...

[turbopaez]

Car paid off and dont buy nothing unless I have the money....

[David]

I use a credit card when buying my stuff online. Gets paid off every month.

[OrangeChevyII]

Whats a credit card?

[Dawkins]

Cash and carry on all parts... I could get better prices online but I like seeing the parts before I pay...

[Maverick]

I wait for my birthday and XMAS to upgrade my mods (if needed - lists are pretty long:D )...otherwise, I barter/trade sidework for parts or outright get paid for my knowledge, skill, and speed...there are few that still owe me favors


I still fill out tech cards with Mastercard/Visa, stripper girlfriends/Hooters girlfriends or bank i just robbed next to the "Who is your sponsor?" question:D

[usmcluke]

Your going to have to give me a lot more than a DP and a Pizza to get to drive my car. :D :p

[SEB]

Oh really, :eek: James I would make sure you are sitting down the next time you guys together. :D Just j/k

Fag! :p

[usmcluke]

Fag! :p
Oh you took it there not me. You got penis on the brain....

[grape]

nascar, goodyear, www.hutch-pagan.com, and www.bsrproducts.com have my cc number on file....... :rolleyes:

[Slowhand]

i'm too stringent with my money.

even if I have the money for mods, I don't spend it.

actually that's because i have a slow car.

[scott442]

Used to be credit cards but that got me in trouble.

When I start working on it again it will be cash only.

[Maverick]

Hey...I said Dr.Pepper! Nothing phallic about that! Need to get back on topic here! (Damn you SEB!:D )

[White90GT]

I buy all used parts and pay cash or trade for existing stuff. The cash used is usually made off of side work, or racing itself. I have been running in local index races here for a couple years now and the money I win typically pays for my entry fees and a new set of tires each year. The last two races of the season netted me a nice chunk of change, enough to pay for the entire year of racing LOL.

[bobs94formula]

cash, I never use the cc for car stuff. Although here in the last 2 years any money I spend on the car has come form selling car parts that I have accumulated. Although I've been so broke lately nothing is getting done ;)

[OMEGA DOOM]

I print my own $.I bet you do? ;)

[93WHITELXCOUPE]

I use my monthly bonus and expense checks to fund my Racing habit! :cool:

[DFWtechie]

I shut down my WiFi company and all the parts selling help pay to build it and the sale of welders and Plasma cutters on eBay and anywhere someone will by them.

[fordracing19]

I have a friend that had over 60k in cc debt due to his dirt track car.

[boss302]

i go out and steal all my parts/cars..no debt here... J/k i usually by em cash on here or swap something i already have.

[Phillystang]

usually eBay sales goes to buy stang parts on eBay, no racing yet, lol

[Blown03_GT]

I use to use my cc but, that was getting me in trouble. Now I just use any bonus I can squeeze out of the Marine corps. The 10K they just gave me is going to put a Procharger on the car. :D

[mikeb]

I am very surprised at the responsibility that I see here with ya'lls spending. I kind of figured that the CC spending would be a lot more than the votes show. Good to know that i'm not the only person sitting around waiting for money to appear to do the next mod.

[turbostang]

I did the credit card thing way back when, and I still haven't got out of debt from it. Now, I've completely rebuilt my car from the ground up with side work as the only funding. The problem now is, I have so much side work - I don't get to work on my car :(

I love it though, It's not a bad gig.

New dart block 331, Lentech AOD, a "big" turbo, New paint, new wheels, new interior, new electronics.... It just took a couple of years to get it there (and a bunch of turbo kits!)

[Unc]

I buy off the internet mostly and that usually requires the use of a credit card. I have found several companies out there on the www that sell way below the Summit and JEGS type companies. I bought my block, heads, crank, rods and pistons off ebay and saved several hundreds of dollars. All new stuff too. All the other stuff I get thru local contacts.

[Futurama]

cash only. and mainly i spend the year getting ready for my tax return, its not much but it gives me enough money for half the years worth of parts in my cheap project.

[musclestang89]

learned the hard way , now its cash. Sad thing all that stuff I bought when i was younger was just shit. I have spent way more now using cash though. But doing it the right way and making it safe to be able to have fun for awhile

[Mustangman_2000]

started out using credit and switched to cash after getting eating alive by interest rates.

[Super Coupe]

My parents put it on their CC. :D

[Futurama]

My parents put it on their CC. :D

Smiley's must own that foo, good for B.A. and Tom if that's the case.

[elzoro]

i'm 17 and even with a job i have no money, therefore evil jose is my favorite mod :o

[JKD]

I own my car & pay cash for my all parts

x2.

No payments here. :)

[Zinc_Stang]

;) Your priorities are straight, lol. :D

[01-GATOR]

When I had my race car I would just save up and pay with cash. Got into credit card trouble in college and don't want to go trough that again..

[HEMIROC]

any & all of the above

[BigShoe]

Mostly cash, but I'm About to put the rest on cc'c to finish it I'm tired of waiting.

[Beenfetchedlately]

My car is almost entirely funded by my side business so no websites no mods :mad: . I don't hit the CC for anything especially mods.

BTW...I need mods.Thats how mine is too.
I just end up spending it on the house instead. haha
