> Thank you. 11,500 is a lot easier to pay off than 24,000. :rofl  
> You asked my dad maybe 1-2 months at most after he bought the car. I probably did not have any money towards the car then because the first 1200 went towards insurance which I pay and you don’t. 😃

So you’re claiming you’ve made about $14,000 this year (including mods, weed $$ etc.)??

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

And I think this was like June, and I did not bring up your car, your dad did. Convo went like this:

(this is at Pinehaven country club where we work and his dad is a member)

Mr Zajac- Ryan, you’ve worked here like 4 days in a row, do you have a mortgage to pay off?  
Me- No, I’ve got that black hunk of metal with the hamburger on the grill in the parking lot to pay off  
Mr. Zajac- That’s great that your paying for your own car, Charles hasn’t paid me a penny for his (he laughs out loud)

> Im going to chime in for both sides Chuck your dad told me the same thing about it being paid off, i just didnt really care. And kramer its going to cost you 50 dollars to ship those mufflers so really your losing 115 dollars in 2 months with no reward. Just my 2 cents on both of you.

Greyhound will probably be closer to $30, so call it a $100 loss.

And the reward was an exhaust note that wasn’t too intrusive but put a smile on my face every time I turned it on or gave it more than 50% throttle. If you do the math based on how long they were on the car compared to the $100 I’m losing on them, that’s $1 per day.

Worth it to me, and again, that’s all that should matter.
