Some people are extremely frivolous with their money and don't plan well financially. News at 11.

Exactly and I see a lot of people with nice cars, but with no cash for themselves. Thats okay, but to me i see how much something is and i save for it. People don't plan to fail...they fail to plan. Don't we all wanna have the cake and keep on eating it everyday.

Tell me Your "Evo Budget Stories" and I will share with you mine

Today I washed my clothes with dish washing liquid because I ran out of money to buy groceries and regular home supplies.
Do you know that dish washing liquid is too harsh for the car and will strip some clear coat off?

I think the problem with the evo is that we all just cant leave well enough alone. We absolutely HAVE to mod our cars. Our evo's cast a spell on us that makes us act irrationally. Our wives/girlfriends/parents cant, and never will understand it. Hell, I look at how much $ my car owes me, and even I cant understand it. I think the evo was sent by Satan to consume our souls. Oh well, at least the trip to hell will be one helluva ride!

I bought my Evo when I was making $8/hr at a liquor store, living with my parents. Every penny I made went into paying that car off... Then I got a great job, paid off the car, bought a house and rent out 2 apartments. No more scrounging for me!

What a great economy we live in! Oh wait....
