    Create a blog(Weblog) containing your experiences and stuffs like how-to's ,do-it-yourself.
    When your blog picks up,start a forum where you can help people with car problems.Monetize everything with Google Adsense or a good CPM program.
    Good Luck

    Adsense is a content-based ad network.Google will display ads on your site and when your visitor clicks on it,you get paid.You can sign up with adsense in your Parents name,as your 13.

    Monetizing a site means,making your site earn for you.This can be done by displaying others ads(like adsense) on your site or promoting others products for a fee.

    CPM:Cost Per 1000 impressions.It means that when the ads are displayed 1000 times on your site you get paid a certain amount of money.

    And one more thing,learn to research using google to find meanings of unknown things.

    First make some cash by providing services in DP..

    Then when you have enough, try purchasing a domain, then a hosting package.
    Then host your own blog and use Adsense to monetize it. Then a forums will do better activity.

    Why do u need a card,Just sign up at paypal under your parents name.Paypal has a sending limit and receiving limit for unverified accounts.But once you get $5-$10 get a virtual card from any DP member selling one ,and get your account verified

    If you're really low on $$, try trading your services with some local businesses. Car repair for hosting/web design possibly. Put an ad in the local paper or craigslist for barter. Once you get that you can answer car repair questions on a forum or blog. Those type of sites can be very popular, people are always looking for a second opinion or free help.

    You can use blogger to for free as you don't need to spend money on on hosting or domain purchase.
