Why not get a job at the junk yard, take some of your pay in VW parts and being allowed to use their "mail" capabilities free to mail your eBay stuff to customers who buy it :-) Maybe see if you can be paid to make a really big "sculpture" for the front of the junk yard?
I haven't thought about the junkyards. We only have one that's really close and it's always really old men that work there haha but I wonder if they would hire me just to work the front desk. I don't know about winter though. I'm not sure if they're open when there's five feet of snow on every car.

I've definitely debated the eBay thing. I have so many VW parts laying around the house. All I need to do is modify them. A gauge cluster goes for $60 on eBay. I know how to change the colors of the lights so the display is pink/blue/purple/etc. So I could sell it for almost $100 after replacing all the bulbs and such. It's just a pain to get the parts because I'm so broke haha but even if I sell one cluster, $100 buys a whole lot of parts at the junkyard!
