For those with S/C's how do you afford it?

kinghack · April 9th, 2007, 06:36 PM

Do you guys really have the cash to get one and get it installed or do you do some kind of financing? Its not everyday a person can fork over 8 - 10 grand to get a s/c put in. So how do you guys do it?

TDog · April 9th, 2007, 06:50 PM

8-10 is waaaay high. 3-7k is more accurate. you can look at mid 3's for pro-charger. Some get loans, some use the year end bonus. I blew my last year end bonus on the huge downpayment on my 07 and 2 or so mods i put in. Next Jan I'll use it for a Saleen SC. Its a hobby like anything else. Everyone needs a hobby. It is healthy. good luck

one option is whoring yourself out

Personally I throw 80 bucks a week in to a savings account; when I can afford it, I use that money to toss some toys at my car.

MaverickMLFD371 · April 9th, 2007, 06:57 PM

same, throw about 50-100 bucks a week into a savings account, near the end when I had enough, pulled the trigger on it. only took me about 2 years

Do you watch the deadliest catch on discovery chanel. Thats what I do, been doing it for 29 years. I put a pic of my boat in my garage, after fishing for that long you realize that life is short. The car is a toy and fun to drive, It seems the older you get the harder it is to have fun so for now the car is my happyness.......JM

TDog · April 10th, 2007, 11:40 AM

pretty damn cool, Mcmillin. Nice boat. I always wanted to do that

orangeRcode · April 10th, 2007, 12:28 PM

Nice boat McMillin. I have been watching Deadliest Catch for a couple of seasons. Very interesting and challenging profession you have.

I throw a bit of money back each payday. I also buy and sell parts here and there to fuel my habit. Right now, I have about $500 owed to me. I always collect, it just takes a little time. I don't push unless I need the money. I will be going collecting next week as I have a dyno tune scheduled on the 27th.

Justincredible · April 10th, 2007, 01:00 PM

I guess Im lucky...Ive got Zero dept, am not married, and have no kids (that I know of).

Ive always been able to buy the toys I wanted with a little saving up and cost cutting.

My thinking has always been "if you have to finance it, you cant afford it to begin with". (excluding home purchases of course)

Goose 07 · April 10th, 2007, 01:48 PM

I'd whore myself for the money.................. but only to HOT women

LOL
