The kidney will be sort of hard to do considering the Evo is not the most gentle of rides and the left hand should be kept in order to drive.

I guess we guys could start to sell sperm for car parts. I can see it now when I tell my wife about my “second” job.

Me: Well honey I’m off to work I’ll be back in a few minutes
Her: What do you think you’re doing selling that stuff and not getting me something?
Me: But honey it’s for the Evo, really it needs this honest it does.
Her: try selling your blood instead then and try selling them 6 quarts so I can get something from the insurance money.

I didn't buy the house I was suppose in the spring and bought another Evo instead O well the housing market sucked and I would have lost money any how O well I got another Evo and am now Selling one because I haven't had a job or worked in over 4 months and have no money haha o well I had a good run Need to finish school if I am not working, I guess I'll start next semester Before I spent half of my income on the Cars (Payment, Insurance, and Gas) the rest went into saving and to put a down payment on a house... Thats going fast not working If I sell my car I will be completly debt free and still have 2 cool cars

You delayed a year of HS to purchase an evo? Thats crazy. I would never do anything like that. I'm still in college and have a full time job earning $55k a year and I still don't have an evo. Only because I don't want to live on a so called "Evo Budget". Insurance prices in Jersey sucks if you're under 25. Also, once I graduate I'm looking at a promotion. Only then will I purchase an Evo.

I'm a Non-Perishable Manager for Stop & Shop Co. We are a wholly owned affiliate of Ahold. We are the largest Supermarket Chain in the Northeast! Besides that....I refuse to live on an Evo Budget. Now is a good time to invest in your 401k if you're young. Also, my quality of life is much better without a huge car payment every month.

Amen to your 401 K, but those kind of jobs don't last forever. Its all about saving your money and investing in it. Its having the cake and eating it to.

Have you looked at your 401k lately? I don’t know about you but mine has lost money. If those in congress get their way I’ll be paying into my 401k after taxes too.

Regardless though unless you have money pouring out your rear or unless you don’t buy anything you will have some degree of a budget or most do anyway. It all depends on how much budget you want to have. I am married with a son and do well enough to have an Evo and a house, not rich by any means but certainly not scratching to pay for the car. The car payment is not that bad and neither is ins.

What's the point of having cake if you can't eat it
