Car spending getting out of control?
« on: 22 August 2005, 22:58 »
Mine seems to be  :sad: Always seem to be buying something else for the car, and not selling anything  :cry:

This adds up to me getting poorer and poorer, soon I wont be able to put petrol in the car, so I wont even be able to drive the thing that ive spent all my money on!!! Its all getting a bit silly really, but I just love getting new stuff for the car!!

Anyone else have this problem?

I think we all have this problem ,its just part of driving vw i could probably run a "normal car" for half the price my vr costs ,and not want to buyanything for it ,
but what would be the point in that?

I'm too scared to do a breakdown like that, might pass out when I see how much money I've thrown at that car!!!

It's never going to happen Gaz!! You know that old dubs cost money just to keep alive but then when you go on adding bits and pieces if you add it all up it's scary! My way of looking at it is I've spent a fortune but hey it's done and spent and i managed to survive so why worry about how much it costs! It's an individual car and you don't get many of them nowadays :D

Love the sig Knight!

It is a mad thing and it does cost a fair bit to keep them good. I was at a BMW show on Sunday (conned by my mate who told me it was a German Car event :angry:).

I went up with his mate whos car is a UBER5 BMW (won best German car at MAX POWER). THis cost £100k to do (yes 100K). How do people get this involved with it all? Baffles me. It looks ok and goes well. Supercharged 4litre engine!

Yup, until around 3 months ago when my girlfriend stopped me spending so much, So instead i went mad and spent it on even more drugs and alchole (considering it was bad enaugh when i was buying car stuff) Luckly now my girlfriend saw the errors of my ways (and the vommet on the carpet) and now im back with a new job and even more money to spank on shiny stuff for my beloved VW :D VIVVA LA POVITY!
