Alright, here is the deal. A friend of mine and I made a bet that we each can make more money in a year starting from the fixed amount of $200. I have been fixing broken cars, or selling parts that I find for good deals for the past few years, and in the last two years I turned a $500 investment into about $3500...this took time, and dealing with selling things online, and everything that goes into parting out junk cars...but in the end I have always been able to recoup my money, and usually I make a decent profit if I am patient.

My question for you all is what other options do I have? Is there a way to turn my $200 into $5000, or $10000 at the end of the year if I really focus on it? Anyone doing penny stocks, or playing poker, or doing anything out of the ordinary that I could consider??

Mostly I just want to beat my friend, which I really fueling this competition. I just figured that of any forum, or any community, the Porsche ownership community could come up with some Financial Lounge ideas for me to pursue and really put a chunk of change away in a year.

All I have to lose is $200. I have everything to gain, and I would love to try something new to make a few dollars.

Any ideas?
