I rent an apartment, fool!

But really... I want to know the logic behind the house and credibility connection. What if he owned a house but was $200k underwater?

in my book one would first buy a house with a garage. then buy the car(s), then buy parts to mod them and keep them going.

without a house and mortgage (or paid cash) it appears to me one skipped the critical step. ofcourse house isn't everything but i would respect someone with a house and civic vs apartment/renting a house and say a GTR or watever.

but again, that's just me.

So, does having a wife affect the credibility??

Wow... what ever happened to judging people by content of character vs the order in his purchase of material possessions???? Lol... this is some ridiculous sh1t right here...lol.

You guys have a totally backwards respect measurement. I hope you guys are under 25??? Then there would be an excuse. What I respect from a person is the small things they do as far as being respectful, considerate and honorable people. I don't care if you own a mansion or a cardboard box??? If your heart is good and you are a good individual in the way you treat me and the people around you? I respect you. I don't care what a person drove or in what order they bought a bullsh1t material possesion. To me this whole theory here is bullsh1t... I'm actually a lil surprised by the names involved in this train of thought..... but to each his own.

Default Tits and tires

If you have either, it will cost you down the road. My dealer oil changes are $66.

I let the dealer change the oil and filter on my motorcycle, and it costs me about 75 bucks, and I used to bitch about the cost, but no more, not after analyzing the costs. It only takes 3 qts. and a filter, and I use dino oil. Even dino oil costs about $8/qt nowadays and the filter is about $14, o-ring a dollar, so $39.00 in parts/supplies. So where's the rest going? Dealer gets about $85/hour labor. Tech takes about 10 minutes to drain and change oil and filter, followed by test ride, followed by leak check, followed by a little touch-up cleaning. $36 labor is reasonable for that service in my opinion. I used to do all the maintenance myself (except for tire changes) but at my age and with my old creaky bones and sore everything, I'd rather let them do it.
