Graham1984 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Just wondering is it just me that always wants stuff for my car when the money could be better spent elsewhere. My car currently needs a bit of paintwork sorting out along with my wheels needing to be re-furbed but for some stupid reason I find myself trawling the for sale section often looking at glass headlights. The other week I was looking at Trial rears and oem skirts and Do-luck fronts.... then the thought of painting and fitting takes over followed by swiftly should I bother on a NA anyway. The bit that bugs me the most is I am self employed and already a day down this week in wages due to the weather so why when it doesn't make any financial sense do I have a greater need to buy or upgrade stuff that isn't quite so important. Hopefully there are more impulse buy now people out there so that it is a common problem of want want want over need need need. Afternoon anyway.

listy Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Not just you mate. I'm always finding myself wanting things when I don't have the money for them. However, when I have he money, there's nothing I want to buy, so it gets spent elsewhere, then its a savage cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I don't have this particular problem but I have a friend in the "west" who needs some counciling, I guess it's just human nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Money doesn't go far these days at all. Impulse buys are rarely good decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want something i can get in and drive now and not be thinking shall i change the wheel colour or flock the interior etc etc. That sounds like the dream scenario, I do wonder if I would get bored if I didn't have something to think about or want however stupid that may sound. I was talking to Budz at the pease pottage meet and he seemed to be in the same mindset too that he would rather build it up than having a finished product. I suppose money talks which is why I am in this situation as I have less than sod all atm and the prostitution game is not earning me anything either.

Kaan W Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I do all the time, easily side tracked when searching for parts. I started searching for car covers with the missus the other day and after a 2 hour discussion we thought the best thing to do was buy new curtains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansupra Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We are never happy with what we have, that is the problem.. I am the same, always looking in forums on how to make my car better. I guess its time to get our priorities straight and be happy with our beautiful cars.. Go wash your car, give her a nice polish then go for a drive.. It should make you forget what you want then what you need.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
