Well the best way I know of for growing money with ** no risk ** is to open a high interest online savings account. Because of their lower overhead vs. physical banks, they can afford to doll out much higher return rates. Anywhere from 4% to 6% currently vs. less than 1% at a regular bank.
This is better than a typical CD because the interest rate is similar if not higher, and the money is more fluid. Or in other words, if for some reason you need to withdraw the money before the 6 months (e.g. find a better rate elsewhere, emergency need for money, change your mind, etc...), you can do so without the penalty that would be imposed on an early CD withdrawal.
This obviously won't grow your money a whole lot short-term (better for the long-term), but it's the best return you can expect without some level of risk.
Personally I have been using ING Direct as my online savings account and have been highly satisfied. To sign-up you must have a checking account at a physical bank (to transfer money in/out). If you would like to try them I can send you (and/or anyone else interested) a referral link that will give you an absolutely ** FREE ** no-strings attached bonus of $25 (and $10 for me) when you open an account with an initial deposit of $250 or more. Just e-mail me with your intention (click my username to find link to e-mail me) and I will send you a referral link.
To be fair, there are several other online savings accounts which may be just as good, but I can only testify to ING since that is what I use. They pretty much popularized the whole online savings account deal, and seem to drive more innovation than other companies. |

The only way to earn interest with zero risk is to put it in a bank savings account, a 6 month bank CD, or a 6 month Treasury bill. Don't expect to earn a huge amount of interest in only six months, though. |

a 6 month CD. Shop the interest rates through local banks, State Farm, Investment Houses like Edward Jones. |

If you really want to "earn" some money, never buy a brand new car. As soon as you drive it off the lot, it loses 30% of its value. Buy a used one and let some other sucker lose his money right away. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. |

invest in strong stocks like google (goog) dryships (DRYS) vmware (VMW)
china mobile (CHL)
you might even double your money in 6 months and decide you dont want the car but want to keep investing and get rich.
If you do buy stocks and they drop down a little, dont sell, just hold. If you sell then you lose. They always go back up. For instance I bought google at 521. About a month later it was down to 487 but i kept my investment. Now 4 months later its up to 650 if i sold when it was down i would have lost. If anything buy more of your favorites when they go down. Then when they come back up you already made money. |

I'm in the same boat. I am planning on buying a new car next year. I'm keeping mine in a Money Market account at 4%. If you can't get a money market go for a 6 mo. CD. The stock market is just too risky on a 6 month basis - and the fees would eat into profits. |
