Pfft, paying full market price is for poor people, I always pay 15% above asking price so people know what a baller I am.

Yeah man, unless you're living "paycheck to paycheck," there is no reason you should not be throwing money around like confetti. I mean, the whole reason we are in the financial mess is that people don't throw their cash around.

Your right, I think to be on the safe side, i recommend that we all buy type R compound tires and swap them out after each use. If it's good enough for the pro's then it's good enough for me. Besides it's bound to increase my accel/decel times and distances!

Yeah, putting your financial priorities into your vehicle is the only thing that really makes sense for people not living "paycheck to paycheck." Don't invest your money in property, improve your house, or the like. Vehicles are the only investment that stands up over time.

Well people don't see my house when I go out.. they just see my car and clothes so i got to be showin off otherwise people will just think i'm a nobody. I ain't paycheck to paycheck and i need everyone to know it, thats why i roll on $4k tires! Trust me, the girls know the difference! Property, houses, and a portfolio are for losers!

Right. Talking about saving money and not spending it frivolously is for people who live paycheck to paycheck. Sissies. Put your money where it makes the most sense, your tires.
