i pieced my first 35r kit out when i got my car and for everything it took about 9 months. That was everything though and another t-case and clutch. If i take home 1,000 ill normally save 600 for the evo and eat noodles and roll my cigs haha

we need credit cards to remain functional as we need loans. Nobody I know purchases a house with only cash. Everyone needs a little help here and there, and if you enjoy what you are doing and can afford it that's what matters most. If you're smart cards can be beneficial, it's when you abuse it that becomes a problem and gets you into trouble. You only live once.

I will agree that this has contributed to our recession. It's the irresponsible individuals who charge everything and feel that they don't have to pay anything back. We can't blame credit cards just because irresponsible people abuse them.
