I toootally thought this thread was going to be something else, lol.
To the op: good luck with your car! Definitely save up- I was GIVEN my first car by some of my family, which was wonderful of them and saved me money, but then 4 months later had to shell out almost 1k for a new fuel injector, and then 4 months after that I had to shell out 500 bucks for brakes and a hole in the exhaust system.
Bottom line: cars are EXPENSIVE even at the best of times (30 bucks to fill the tank) and at the worst can be reaaally difficult to deal with.
When I was your age I got my first job through my school. We were able to obtain work permits after 14, I believe, and I got a job at a plastic surgeon's office through the school (they kept a listing of parents/friends of the school who needed help). I do't know if your school does anything similar, but it's worth looking into.
