Getting upset with the way my truck looks.

["350Vortec"]

Everyday i walk out of work, i just see my hoe, With the front lean, and the grille that looks like gutter guard wrapped to my braces in front. and its small looking tires and ugly chrome trim. I am just getting upset with it, and i want a change but cant afford it with a trip coming up. I feel like i have the ugliest hoe on here.

Eh I doubt it's the ugliest hoe on here, just put all the things you want to do in a spreadsheet with hardware and install cost, and then prioritize it!

yeah i know the feeling. i can't get wheels until spring and i hate my stockers.

LOL my Hoe has the same front end lean!!! Its just doing the pimp walk

Just do somethin for her to get you excited about it again, there's enough inexpensive mods you can do, hi 4 or 6 mods wat like 3 bucks?, spray tint the heads n bumper lights, an antenna delete, get rid of the roof rack, or even just keep it obsessively clean, I think most people here would much rather walk outta work nd jump in a shiny hoe than a dirty ass 97 camry or even worse a prius or mini cooper

 

[jcooklock]

What I would do is go out and get it real muddy and then drive it to work. Now you can walk out for a filthy hoe and be proud of how it looks!! or that could just be me

not much you can do with it, until you get some cash and some time off work for the free mods.. prioritize it like he said. one thing at a time. go cut ppls grass or something.

Im already working 70 hours a week. By the time i get home cutting lawns is not something i want to do. And when i have time to work on my hoe, i dont have the want or the drive to. It blows. hard.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

70 hours a week? comeon.. Okay, so pay someone to do it for you, if your puttting 70!hours a week, youd be making some madddd as cash thats for damn sure..

 

["350Vortec"]

Yes, 65-70 hours a week. Both are minimum wage jobs. $8 an hour. after paying my phone bill, rent bill, gym member ship. I dont bank that much. I like to bank my pay, not spend it. Espeically after paying bills. I guess i need to learn to spend a little for myself

 

[AtomicHoe094]

rent bill for what? living in your parents house? your making 600 bucks a ******* a week and cant buy anything for yourself? you got problems boy. a gym membership is 30 bucks a month, phone bill maybe maybe 100, and rent isnt 450 bucks a week!!(not even a month)!.. somethings wrong, either your pocket has a ******* huge hole in it, or someones stealing your money prettttttttty damn good.

Rent and utilities could easily be $1000 a month. I dont know what else he pays for but gas and car insurance could suck up another several hundred a month. $600 a week is NOT a lot of money in the real world.

tell me 600 bucks for a kid this age isnt alot of money..

age of 17! are you kidding me?


should be banking around 2 grand a month, so figure his gym is 30 bucks, phone 100, rent? 1000 bucks, gas and random crap 500 bucks still having about 400 bucks to play with here.

And i totally agree with you road1will, but for someone that age should be banking some money pretty damn easily.

hahaha i wouldnt even watch somebody mow there own lawn for 8 bucks/hour!!! ...steal your parents empty pop cans and take them in....good luck!

yea man y arent you living at home dude? im 19 goin to school work 2 jobs in the summer and 1 part time during the year an its enough to spend an take my girl out and enough for me to get a yukon coming soon. i hear ya tho it can be rough

 

[ChevyManDan]

All these guys have given some great advise. It took 3+ years for mine to get where its at today, and there's still a lot more to go. Start with the outside and work your way into the interior. You'll stay motivated once you see your truck turning heads roll'in down the hwy.

 

[roadrageror]

yeah maybe try to get a job at a parts store where you can get a discount,make a list for your family for christmas,b-day,grad..garage sales,convince your friends,relatives to upgrade stuff that they might have and try to buy it off them for a deal. junk yards,swap meets, you get the pic..a can of paint can make a big difference also.

with my hoe i had $1,000 set aside for mods when i bought it. instead of buying wheels, i got more bang for my buck by doing.....debadge, rack delete, billet grill, painted smooth vents, roll pan, hidden hitch, professional carpet shampoo, and supplies for a full tune up. now i have to wait a little while until i get wheels, but yeah i was lucky to do what i did within the 1st month of owning it.

 

[blueflamed03]

like mentioned, make a list and estimated cost of that mod, set and prioritize, knock them out one at a time. Goals

X2, I don't have a ton of money to spend due to the fact I make minimum wage and only working part time currently. I have a B-Day coming up and so I did ask for some money for my truck.

Like it was mentioned above- Set a list, prioritize, and then get it done. You will be happy as you get one thing done at a time and it should give you some more push to make some extra cash for those other mods!

Good luck!
