Something always comes up....right as I'm about to get my ass in to gear and make my gun, something ALWAYS comes up!

Yet again money is the main source of my anger. I had saved a fair bit and had enough to start getting the rest of my bits and peices BUT....I need to get 4 new tires put on my car. 225 bucks gone right there. Goodbuy savings...

Now I will probably be set back another 6 months...not happy to say the least..

Does anyone have these same sort of problems?

You're lucky. $225 for tires. I own a full sized Bronco and the tires for that beast are $225 a piece.

I have the problem of doing all the math for my budget late at night, so it's usually wrong.
Most recently I thought I had enough money to fund my project and buy a microwave for my car, and 50 dollars later I had the microwave, but then it turned out I needed roughly 50 more dollars for my new hybrid for a few parts (which I forgot to order) and of course I didn't have the money and I already had $300 invested in it, so my parents wouldn't loan me any money (despite all the money spent was from my own pocket). Pretty damn irritating, especially since I had to dig through my garage to try and find something to substitue for the parts.

A microwave for your car? Lol, and I thought I had everything.

This is why I always have spare money incase of emergencies or extreme wants.

That actually isn't a bad idea JSR it would work well with a Hybrid Launcher and within range of 800m could be an effective way of doing it.
Not that i recommend doing it because it will probably miss it's target and land on some grandma's porch and then they'll get taken down by the peelers.


happy SPuddin'

Tires slashed? If that's the case I feel your pain. People always manage to piss me off.

Anyway, I don't think money is the problem.

Girls=time. Time=money. Money is the root of all evil. Therefore, girls are evil.

Women. It's there fault.

If that is correct, then no, girls wouldn't be evil, girls would be the n-th root of evil.

I feel your pain as well. It's a PITA to find tires for 14" rims, more and more these days. Probably next tire change I gotta look for some standard 15" ones before I have to start ordering tires at an antique store. :roll:

If somebody slashed your tires I'm sorry. All the football players at our school keep wanting to key cars in the field-house parking lot that don't belong to football players, (people like me park there who have other practices after school such as ROTC). They can do that all they want, but they just gotta understand that payback is a bitch. So, I've developed a novel plan. They key my truck, we bring the Bobcat, flip their cars, and pile them all into the corner and light them on fire. Simple as that.

So, long story short, get a Bobcat.
