Car-wise I refresh audizine and fourtitude classifieds about every 20 minutes looking for parts. I haven’t paid ANYWHERE near retail for 95% of what I’ve purchased for my car; repair parts and upgrades. That and obviously do all the work yourself. Also as mentioned, bringing a lunch saves you from an absurd amount of unnecessary spending. ---

I dunno, think it might be easier to work a few extra hours a week and drink soda and heat centrally. That said… am i really reading a frugal thread on what started as a car based forum… modifications must be the absolutely biggest waste of money… besides when you get a whore only to find she has balls…but you get the point… ---
