I was asked the other day what would I rather spend my money on my car or going out on a Friday or Saturday night to the pub.

I would rather spend my money on the car.

What would you's do?

not too long ago, i used to spend cira £50/70 a night on going out in reading 1/2 nights a week...

After moving away, i was able to afford an IS, and while i still enjoy the occasional tipple - i would say, I aim to spend my money on buying a new house (and/or) a new car...

Spend £50 a night and in a week it becomes a distent memory.

Spend £50 or save £50 for something on a car, it lasts.

I like going out, but I dont want to go and and spend loads of money all the time.

So I guess car.

Car definitely! Used to go out on a friday and spend £80-100 on drinks just for me, which seems stupid thinking back on it now. Much better to spend it on something useful really :yes:

I dunno - spend money on a night out with your mates, have a good laugh, make an idiot of yourself, talk about it for weeks to come, etc. etc.

...or spend some money on your car - spend weeks deciding what's the best thing to get, then hunting round several really dodgy carpart places searching for the best deal (even though you know you're gonna get ripped off), realise that you're gonna have to declare your mod to your insurance company who take about an hour to decide what exactly you've had done, then another hour to decide whether they want to keep insuring you, and then yet another hour to decide how much they are gonna increase your premiums by. Then have people laugh at you on the net for what you've done to your car. Then keep having to take it back to the garage coz it keeps cutting out/making a funny rattle/has a worrying smell/is so loud that your fillings keep dropping out (delete as appropriate). Later on when it finally breaks and you need to sell your car quickly you suddenly realise that you're not going to get the money back that you spent on it, and in fact it actually reduces the value of your car so you can't sell it. And then you vow never to spend any more money on your car from now on and instead spend it on enjoying yourself with your mates.

YMMV :P

car....

stopped being a hardcore drinker when i got my car, and my mum and dad said that i just waste my money on the car....

i said....

You waste yours on drink :D, and so would i if i wasnt spending it on the car!!

I went to magaluf in july and spent 1,400 on accodomation, drink and booze alone... had i not gone, my car would be making good progress now...

I enjoyed it big time, but regret it as well, cos spending a grand in 2 week on drink and food is just mad...

But saying all that, while being p*ssed you could fall and break you're leg, get run over, hit by a bus, end up comatosed through excessive alcohol, or even die through alcoholic poisoning :yes:

But that of course is being pessimistic, like you are with your car..... :rolleyes:

I prefer to spend time with my mates having a laugh and a chat, and at least we dont need to be as p*ssed as a !Removed! to enjoy ourselves and our company :group-cuddles: :lol:

Best alcohol is the free stuff anywho, why spend money when you get it free :lol: ;)

Erm .. Used to spend £200 easy over a weekend. and then about £500 on the car a month .. DO BOTH !!

I've now cut down on the drinking, and upped the spending on the car .. but in 2 months I know it'll be the opposite.

But that of course is being pessimistic, like you are with your car.....  :rolleyes:

Modding no, maintaining yes. You'd be amazed how much you could sell a car on for if its well maintained and in mint condition ;)

Car.... all the way! :D

I enjoy going out, but I dont spend silly money getting wasted..... I spend a blokes silly money getting wasted! :D :D

Plus what with having a car and a mortgage, I dont usually have much money for anything else!

If anything I prefer to invite friends round as we have an abundance of booze in our house! :D :D

Yay for housewarming/Christmas/birthday presents! :D
