Good question actually.

I got promoted recently so currently im set :P

I think you are in the same boat as alot of others recently. I know of several people who have had to make some harsh choices. One left his job and got one closer to home just so he could sell his 180sx and ride a push bike, the other started working 2 jobs and doing uni. I dunno how they can do it!

I almost had to sell my car to pay for my upcoming wedding.
I hardly drive it anymore anyway, but don't want to part with it.

I'd love to throw money at it and put lots of nice bits on the car, but I just can't afford it right now.

I do IT support and get paid ok money (I'm pushing for a payrise at the moment though) but most of my money goes towards wedding stuff and paying off debts.

And since my better half and I are planning on buying a house early next year I don't think anything's going to change in the car mods department. oh well.

Well I'm a mechanic, Work on other peoples cars all day then mine most nites.

Me and the better half both own the car together so we both pay for it but liveing out of home, both going to tafe and trying to pay for a apartment the money don't go to far.
