Open Question: raise some money...ideas?

ok so i am a college student and i am trying to figure out some way to make some money to buy my first car. im not looking for anything expensive im just looking for something that will be dependable enough to get me around while at home in michigan and while at school in tennessee. I have been home for the summer for about a month now and i am still struggling to find a summer job because pretty much every place i go to is accepting apps but not really hiring at the time. can anyone give me some ideas on way to raise money or at least good places that are usually good for a summer job????
