Everything gets money spent on it before me. I'm last on my own spend money on list. Probably why my evo is still mostly stock.

walmart shoes are uncomfortable, rarely stylish and don't last (in my experience). i'll gladly throw down the money for a decent pair of shoes, because they last me 2 years or more and still look new. the secret? 2 coats of waterproofing and dirt repellent over the entire shoe before i wear them. my 3 year old sketches look like i got them last month.



that list is hilarious though. here's my first thought...

a co-pay for my physical, about 20 bucks. do this once every few years.
every 3 months pay around 40 for an oil change, not to mention tune ups. the evo is teh expensive!

My food: sub sandwich : $5

Evo food: 93 octane : $2.40+ a gallon, 12 gallons =$24 + every 3 days.

My shoes : Cheapo $10 walmart sneaker. (will last me a long time)

Evo shoes : Falken Azenis RT 615 - $700 (will lasts 4 months or so)

My Soap : Zest - $2 (lasts me a lot) Shampoo - $5 (lasts me a lot)

Evo Soap : Mail order Manufacture Soap : $25 a bottle, lasts 10 washes.

The list could go on forever.





I just thought it was funny, how much all of us spend on this car.
That is so WRONG!!! How come I have to pay $2.70 for 91 octane and all the refineries are out here!!!

I don't know, these walmart shoes are comfortable. Better than my work shoes that costed $350.

perfect shoes for working on your car and getting it dirty.

i mean, I'm not poor, but damn, Evo's expensive.

If you really think about it, you spend more money on this habit than say if you're on crack or meth.

Then again, there are some meth heads running around here, scratching their necks telling people they need more boost! (meth injection).

Yeah. Its horrible the gas we get here in California. There are a few places in Southern California where you can get VP Racing Gas but it costs almost double what you would pay if you went to Nevada. And to top it off, you have to bottle it. In Nevada they sell Racing Fuel at the pump.... right next to Kerosene and 93 octane and the rest. heh.
