LOL, you and I have had this conversation and I already knew your #'s...mindblowing, but knew yours was, in defined limits, conservative to one's own budget.

My original thread idea was more related to putting it out to the masses and inquiring how some of these people nationwide justify $4500 on wheels, w/ a 1 br apt, or in **** climates as their sole transportation, etc.

For example, the look what I got today thread is full of this mind numbing stupidity...does an extra 5k in cc debt, once paid off prob 7k really help anyone feel better, look better, etc..? I just do not get it.
I would love my wheels, which arent even that much, but would never even consider putting 1800 on cc just to "have em right now" there is no gratification in that...of course, I also have never had a car payment for the exact same reasoning.

I bought mine last year got about 4500 left to pay, I might just pay it off but the interest is pretty low so it isn't really a big deal.

I'm having some fun in that Political section about the 1% elite group. You can tell who the well off guys are and how they think they should stay on top while everyone else suffers and pays for the rest of the country. It's really sad when they don't even realize how snotty they sound when posting and how it seems they hope that hard working guys keep working hard to keep the country together while the elite reap the rewards w/o the work.

Big gulps were for DF...lol, in all honesty those were never meant to be "for Sale" pics, they were intended to be used on forum to show off new vq

Drunk posting, Par?

Vote for Dave, buy your way into my good graces, and you shall be appointed positions of power. Oh, wait. Sounds like the status quo...

LED's sounds like an interesting mod. Erik, how would you incorporate that into the Z? I'm having a hard time visualizing the Audi look.

^^Considered the led strips a long time ago, but I am more so planning one LED, in the corners, or panel under the grill, which the sole purpose is strobe for passing people....as mentioned, sick of hi/low flashing

Any grand-am/ALMS prototype is equipped with these.

Almost like a microwave?

As for hunter gather, my guess is I own the most guns...and Aaron certainly the most land/farming prowess LOL
