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.

Ewww, 20" tires will cost you....good luck. I'm already hating to think how much it will be to replace mine.

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

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
