considering i bought it for 45 and it appraised and still appraises at 60 its ok besides that she helped me get to where im at anyway so **** it its only money you cant take it with u.

 

how does it feel to have the wife wearing a modded z on her finger?

 

o....k.

 

edit: nevermind, i don't wanna start anything.

 

...that is the stupidest **** i have ever heard

"i spent $45K on my fiances wedding ring" meathead..

 

my girfriend is cool with it! ive been modding my cars since i was like 16 lol. cant help it. i love her very much and she loves me too so she accepts my hobby. she doesnt see it as childish

 

45k wedding ring? you got played son. Especially when about 50% of marriages end in divorce.

 

my girlfriend just broke up with me because of work (performance factory) and my z..now i just have more money to spend on my z

 

yeah more money to spend on the z and you wont have to worry about spending 45k on a ring

 

thank god i'm not the only one who thinks 45k for a ring is ludicrous.... i was worried there for a while.

 

Technically, if he was making 270k+, 45k for a ring is within the 2 month's salary rule. :P

oneDIRTYz, I'm sure lots of people out there look at us spending money on our cars and think we're ludicrous too. People have different priorities--if he's happy spending 45k on a ring, who are we to judge?

 

I told her it's not when I am modding that she should worry, it's when I stop modding.
She cared at first, but now she actually likes modding. As a matter of fact, she's debating on mods for her car also, lol.

 

No one is "judging" him. She simply said that she believes that 45k for a ring is a waste. nothing more, nothing less.

 

modding isn't the issue with her, its the authenticity of the parts i put on the Z that she cares about.

 

Errr...what's the difference? She's essentially saying that what he did (spending 45k on a ring) is ludicrous. She's judging his action to be ludicrous.

 

It was the diamond companies that came up with the "2 months salary rule" for another one of their marketing ploys.
IMHO it is just ludicrous to spend that kind of money on a ring regardless of your salary. There are plenty of women out there that would agree.

 

once again you are reading too far into a simple forum comment. You must be under a lot of stress. Learn to let things go.

/discussion

 

Okay buddy... I guess I'm not allowed to offer any counter point to a comment.

 

it was an opinion, and i'm glad that other people shared it with me.

yes, it was a judgement on my part. he could be bill freaking gates for all i care, i'd still think 45k [or really, any amount] is ludicrous for a ring.

it's personal taste, but i don't like or wear jewelry, besides 3 gold bangles that hold sentimental value and were passed down among the women in my family.

i dont like diamonds, i dont like pearls. i dont like putting incredible value in rocks and metals and pieces of sand when there are people in the world who are living without fresh water. YES it was a judgement on my part, and i'm sorry if he takes offense to it, but it's the MEN out there that perpetuate women's obsession with jewels. stop buying them this **** and they'll stop expecting it.

 

oh and for the record, buying price aside, there's no way i'd ever spend 45k modding a car.

OH and also for the record, that 2 month rule is EVEN MORE LUDICROUS.

why are you people letting corporations run your lives...willingly? i mean if you were ignorant to the fact, or helpless to do otherwise, like most of us are [we're slaves to food corps, oil corps, etc etc] then i understand. but to fork over 2 months+ worth of salary for something that fits on a person's FINGER because that's what is expected of you, it's a standard set by DIAMOND COMPANIES.........jesusssssssssss

ok dammit, i'm getting entirely too worked up about this. [/rant]
