Ok, so ive been going out with my girlfriend for just about 2 years now and ive had my evo for about 8 months (and yet i still cant decide which is more important to me, my evo or her). The month of may is going to be insane for me. First, out 2 year anniversary is in mid may, then in late may is prom, then right after prom is her bday. Now i have about a grand saved up for may, but its been so hard not to take it all and spend it on my car. Its getting to the point where im thinking of just leaving her and taking the money for myself (however i dont have the ***** to do something like that and then face her afterwards). Has anyone else encountered a situation similar to this?

 

Do you see youself marrying this girl? Most people will say you are way to young to worry about that right now. If you want a future with her, take care of her first. If she is just for fun, do what you really want and spend it on the car, chicks be damned!

 

or i could like split it half and half. Spend half on her and half on the car.

 

Better make sure she doesnt read this or she'll break it off with you, lol

Unless thats what you want.

Me and my girl have been going for 2 years next week. Sure I want to spend money on my car. But in my opinion it's selfish to think that way, to ditch your girlfriend of 2 years, for a machine. Sure I love my evo, but I'd never ditch my girl so I could spend money on the evo. Realistically if you two are doing well and the relationship is good, it's not worth it. You'll be hurting another individual's feelings by breaking it off with her, for your own personal gain. Not a good quality.

You got plenty of time to mod your evo. If it's that important to you to mod it, get a second job to pay for it, better yet, CREDIT! lol

 

With girls...It's the thought that counts....You can find something cheesy for gifts for cheap that they will absolutely love...

Unfortunately, Its quite the opposite with cars....Its like buying the BOV sound generator....the thought was there, haha i guess.......whatever, you get my drift...


Spend the money on the car.

If a girl leaves you for the amount of money you spend on her, then she's not right for you anyway..

 

Hey man I know this sounds stupid but don't spend it on your car. If you really like this girl then you will do the right thing. But If you spend it oon your car you will be satisfied. How do you solve this? Well The Car will always be there. SHE WON't and you will regret it later trsut me. I spent my money I was supposed to spend on her on my car. Now I lost the best thing that ever happend to me

 

Set aside money for: corsage ($15), 2 prom tickets (~100), tux (~100), fancy dinner (~60). Then buy her a nice bday present (necklace, bracelet, earrings, something like that if jewelery is her thing) for about 100 bucks. That leaves you with almost 600 bucks. Go buy yourself a nice catback exhaust and drive that sucka to prom instead of renting a limo

Although, if you are actually thinking about leaving your girl so you can spend all the money on your car, you obviously don't wanna be with her that bad. And unless you wanna be lonely for a long time, get a good job so you have enough money for both in the future.

 

i know i dont wanna break things off with her yet, however, were going to college next year and im definately not going into college with a gf.

 

i think ill spend like $600 of it on her and then the rest on the car because i dont wanna be spendint a grand on a girl when im not even making that much a month

 

The best advice that I can give you is this... your in high school now, and probably will be in college soon. Now chances are that you all will end up going to different schools and end up breaking up anyways. I got to see that happen with all of my high school friends and myself. So why worry about her? If your thinking about breaking up with her, don't even think twice about wasting the money on her.

Chicks come and go, but the opportunity to be young and stupid only comes once in a lifetime (that is why I bought the EVO). Chances are in 10 years you'll be married have kids and will not have the funds to drop a g on car.
Just remember, a car does what you tell it to, in most cases a chick doesn't.

 

your still in Hs... Spend it on the car. If she leaves you then it wasnt meant to be. F it

 

Just spend it on the car. If your having these kinda doubts i think you should leave her. If it came down to my girl or my car.. My girl would come first no questions asked. I have come close to selling my car many times just because money problems but things worked out anyway..... Basically dood unless its a engaugement ring your buying for her (which i dont think it would be heart felt with those feelings) i wouldnt waste your money on her...

 

Look, you're young and dumb. I know its great to own a nice car in High school. I know you feel the need to spend every penny you make on it too.

Lets put it this way, how would you feel if your girlfriend of two years started to hang out with an ex-boy friend. She spent all her time a money on him, and thought to herself, "should I blow all my money on my Ex and not worry about my boyfriend birthday?". I think we should all realize that even though as manly as we want to make ourselves out to be, it still feels nice that someone would take the time to get you something for your birthday, or any other event.

I think that you should just be patient with your car and treat your girlfriend with a little more respect. There is obviously something between you guys if you have lasted for tow years. I think you should take her to the prom and give her what she wants, because even though these “events” do not mean a lot to us guys, it does for them. Wait till summer to worry about your car. You need to sometimes think of other peoples feelings before putting yourself first.

So,
Get your girlfriend an anniversary gift; it doesn’t have to be anything fancy.
Take her to the damn prom,
And buy her something nice for her birthday.

 

I'm one of the few that is marrying my high-school sweetheart. It rarely happens. If you have to ask the question "car or girl?" then she probably isn't the one. I bought the Evo for fun, and I still run into conflicts with my fiance. My advice: don't break it off because of the car, break it off because the relationship probably isn't going too far.

 

It was just yesterday I almost started a poll about this very topic...and because I think we need more dumb polls (j/k). I'm not in HS, and I've been with my girl for like 6 years...but it wasn't over the money part...ANYWAY...

If you KNOW that this is just temporary (which most relationships at that age are), I'd make sure I had enough set aside for a decent prom (that can be a lot of fun), and I'd get her something nice for the anni (but not too nice as this is over soon anyway from what you said)...stick the rest in the Evo fund. If you only end up with a couple hundred, you're still well on your way to the mod of your choice. But I would say keep some for the Evo if you really want to...
