Allowance? In the summer, when I go to my dad's, I get $20 at a time when I mow the yard. At my mom's, I mow the yard, and other stuff, but I don't get an allowance though. I usually just ask her to buy me something if I need it.
P.S. My neighbor has alot of tools and knowledge on working on things. I'm not sure, but I think he used to be a mechanic. So chances are, if I can't get something done on the truck, I'll ask him if he'll help.
