Ryan,
If you like football then play. This may be your only opportunity to play in that kind of environment. I had a blast when I played in high school. You're a kid so you may not understand now, but you're only a kid ONCE

thats what i'm doing w basketball...i don't like it that much to play in college but i've played thru all of HS...great time...yeah dude...if u can afford it and if u got the time go 4 it next year...plus u can use this time 2 get ready, study some plays ect...

To tell the truth I've never liked anysport besides drag racing, motocross, fishing, and babe watching (yeah I think its a sport :nana:)
I've never watched a football game on TV unless its like thanks giving or something and I'm with friends and they have it on (I don't even know when the season is!) I like have all my body parts working and not showering next to naked dudes :eek2:, or having a sweaty dude lay on me. I was just wondering if there was new stuff I could tell my sport stalkers next time they ask.

16 with a 69.   :shruggy:

My first car when I turned 16 was a '58 VW beetle. It wasn't until I came back from Afghanistan this last time, that I could get my 66.

Good luck my friend. I hope you have more luck than I. By luck I mean money ;D

Might i suggest putting your Charger away for awhile and get a second job to dig yourself out of debt.  $1300 might not seem like a lot but it only creates a habit to spiral further into debt, then you are selling the car just to pay off debt and then your left with nothing.   :Twocents:

Don't bash your friend too much. At least he has a job. And it doesn't take balls to quit. It takes balls to work a job you hate instead of sitting at home living off your parents.

Not bashing you. I am just saying your friend deserves better than that from you. Good luck with the fence job. Hope it works out. :2thumbs:

No doubt. Never put someone down or talk them out of a job. There are people flipping burgers at Mc Donalds that have years of collage. Just cannot get into their field and have bills to pay...

Besides, there isn't a thing wrong with busing or any other job.

At 15 I was building and hanging lights in a lighting store. Before I broke my back I was a nuclear mechanic with Florida Power. While still in NY, I owned and operated 2 auto repair shops.   I would say I started at the bottom and learned and grew.  Nothing wrong with good honest hard work.

I'm bashing him for 3 years of complaining, its not the job, its the "I'm going to quit this week" and never does.

It's not his job that I don't like, I'm happy that people work, its the threats to quit he tells me and my Friend but always goes back and comes back to us to complain.

I had a friend that moved to Florida and parked cars as a Vale at nice restaurants on the nights and weekends,  he said he mad cash doing that.  But being 16 you might not get a job parking cars at high end restaurants.  But dont let me discourage you from asking, they can only say no thanks.  :2thumbs:
