It's a whole lot cheaper now that Digital cameras are the standard. When you had to buy film, polaroid, & process your film at a lab, now thats expensive.

Now-a-days all you really have to do is buy a good 35mm SLR and a few good lenses with some lighting equipement. minimal costs compared to the old school days. A good Mac wouldn't hurt either.

I looked at some cameras and they are still 300+
I dont know if I am willing to spend that much for a camera on a hobby that I dont even know if I would be good at..

LOL I am kindof cheap

And where are you getting $1200 for tires? You can get a full setup for $800. Falken or Toyo or something. Sell your stockers for $500 and you're almost there.
It's not a factory warranty it's a 3rd party warranty. They will not cover diagnosis or anything unless it's for sure a problem. So I'd have to pay first, and if it's nothing they won't cover it.

Also I'm probably over exaggerating, but 255/35/19 front 295/35/19 rear is pretty expensie, well over 1000$ I believe.

Well if you're set on a 295 rear then it would take more searching, but in a 2 minute search on discount tire I found this.

Kumho Ecsta SPT
255/35/19 front
285/35/19 rear
$784 plus whatever fees (valve stems, warranty, mount/balance)
Talk them down to $800-$850 out the door

Sell your stock wheels and BFGs for $400-$500 and there you go.

Yeah Discount has the Falken 452 in a 245/35/20 for $140 each.

I priced a full set of 20" Falken 452 front and rear for $744.
245/35/20
275/35/20

i will never have a wheel bigger than 18"

I think it would be too much trouble for me, plus the roads in Denton are below average quality
