Me too, unless it was a birthday or christmas. My Dad and neighbors were always happy to give me work to earn the cash for the toy I wanted.

Usually by the time I had enough saved they were out of style and I bought a game instead.

The thing I worked the hardest for was in 1984, an rc10 gold pan buggy.

My step mom sold it at garage sale for $10 3 years later while I was away at scout camp because she thought teenagers don't need toys

If I didn't already know she was Polish, I'd swear she is Canadian

Not too fond of her, even after all these years have passed.

ok well im 14 now and here is some advice, get to work. i have over 8 cars including large scale and some helis and the only thing my parents have paid for was duty fees. its actually embarrassing to be part of a generation that is perceived to be so lazy but i see where others get it from and they are not just making it up.

Border tax.The reason alot of people ask you to classify it as a gift.

its something you get charged when you bring something in from say the US to canada.

[johnnyh66]

and a Dookie Fee is when you have to put a quarter in the stall to use the toilet

Sell individual cigarettes to your friends like the rest of us...










or am I alone on that one?

[saltinemadness]

if you're not afraid of cooties, offer to take some girlies out for a "night on the town"... for a fee of course. nobody said pimpin was easy...

-craigslist
-ebay
-amazon
-local trader magazine
-here

how'd you get into crawling (for 13 years)? by watching someone else play with theirs? maybe they have an extra they'd sell to you on the low low.

you probably can't even read this because you didn't subscribe?

or you're............................................ .................a robutt

a) OW!

b) I feel your pain, my old man sold my ('73) Nova for $30 while I was away at boot camp. No good deed goes unpunished, eh?


And to the O.P., no harm in asking, but yeah, doesn't look like anybody here has a donation for ya, sorry.

[Benzbuildr]

I got one I'll give ya. You gotta drive to my house to get it.

You need to earn it. If someone else pay's for it, I can almost promise you that you will not take care of it and learn to respect the things you have. I started racing when I was 13, with my own money from cutting grass and doing yard work. You will learn to respect what you have this way.

[country_crawler]

I mow yards, I have 3 yards I mow once a week, and I work in the hay fields too and fixing to start working at a sawmill. I've got about $3k in crawler stuff, all from doing that. It only took me about 3 summers to do that too. Just get to work.

I'm 16 and I have a CC01 that I bought, a SCX10 that I bought, and I just bought a 1:1 Grand Cherokee. Its not that hard to save up money and get yourself something nice. Wash cars, cut grass, pet sit(don't sit on them too long though, don't want to hurt them), etc. There are tons of ways to earn some money.
