I live with my parents too. I pay the insurance on the Blazer and Silverado, the gas, and I also cover my food and cigs. I can stagger my fueling by driving both vehicles, so I can go longer between fueling either of them.
About $100 a week.
I'm still adjusting. In high school, I didn't pay for anything. Now its taking everything I make just to make ends meet! On my school holidays I make some spare cash that goes into mods for both vehicles... mainly the Blazer.
So now I have told you (probably against your will) about my finacial situation!

Be careful about that... I got a Careless and Wreckless for "spinning tires" although it was the Jeep pulling out beside me that did it. Proved that one with the security tapes from my high school.
Wait until just before you get new tires.

I don't advise doing it on the road. Aside from being illegal, theres too many hazards. A car can get out of your control and slide much further than you thought possible if it goes sideways.
I know from experience. My Blazer used to do burnouts easier than anything else at Princeton High School. I lost control of it more than once cutting up, but I was in a parking lot both times.
Find you a decently smooth parking lot in the middle of nowwhere and get it out of your system.

Or do what I do, wait for snow and ice, and knock yourself out. BUT my boss did that in a parking lot with his new F150 this winter and fishtailed right into a snowbank that HAPPENED to be an ice bank and dented his box up pretty good

Yeah...I might just go behind the grocery store or something and pull the handbrake and burn some rubber.
Haha I live in SoCal, we get snow every decade or so...I've got an interview at Knott's (which is good news) and found this great deal on those killer rims

The listing ends the day after my b-day...so I might be able to afford them (I get my savings account open the day after my b-day)
I also got a new steering wheel cover and new wipers...

Oh and quick question with the rims...since they are 15" and my stock ones are 15" my current tires should fit, correct? Cause I won't have money for new tires as well.

Those wheels are great looking (or rad, bitchen', sic, cool, awesome)....whatever the correct phrase is now. You should have P215/60R15's on your car now and they should work on a 15x6.5" wheel. Nice choice.
