[quote=“ugososlow,post:20,topic:29883"”] You STOLE that from Jake Lamada, the raging bull. My whole image of you is blown. [/quote] Nope, I heard my father-in-law say something akin to that one time. I thought it was funny so I stole it from him. Not sure who Jake Lamada is. :gotme: But yes it is stolen, so if your image of me included sincerity or creativity, then it is now more accurate. 🙂 😛 ---

[quote=“newman,post:17,topic:29883"”] 110% [/quote] I’d agree with you… I’m about 80%…just bought a $25K truck…and also own a ~$5K bike. I also live at home…so the only bills i have are: cellphone,health insurance/car,bike insurance. What I don’t spend on my cars/gas/mods I spend on food and clothes…I barley save…haha ---

Not going to bother including my 2 daily drivers. As for my 69, I did a lot of side jobs, etc to pay for it. And accumulated the money over the years. I’m afraid to add up the invoices. :roll2: ---

I’d say about 30%, car payment, insurance, gas and general upkeep. Thats just the Tibby, if you add in the R/T it’s closer to half. The rest goes to my mortgage, utilities and student loans. ---
