How cheap are you?

[Dagimp]

I've had jobs and living conditions that for years left me with somewhere around $2K free spending cash a month and still never bought a nice vehicle.

Until two months ago.

I'd never owned a vehicle newer than 86.
I'd never owned a vehicle with power windows.
I'd never owned a vehicle with working air condition.
I'd never owned a vehicle with power locks.
Of my last 3 vehicles only one had a semi working radio, with a broken Cassette player.
My most expensive vehicle was $1500.

Drive around for months in a 4 banger with 3 proper plug wires, and a 1 20 year old wire four times longer from a V8 because you're too cheap to buy a new one?

[Camp]

I've been clinicly dead once already, I don't bother being cheap. I enjoy the money I work hard for :D

[ArloGuthroJeep]

I have never owned a vehicle older then 93 (93, 98, 04)
I have never owned a vehicle without power windows
I have never owned a vehicle without AC
I have never owned a vehicle without power locks
Of my last 3 vehicles, every one has had a working stereo system
My least expensive vehicle was 25k

I think I am the complete oposite of you:)

X2, I will leave some for the kids but I am going to enjoy life while I can.

[newracer]

I have not paid for a haircut in over 15 years. :D

[SUPERGILDO43]

I pay someone to hand wash my underoos...

I'll take, "Who is Woobie?" for $100 please, Alex.

I suppose that since Mack posted in this thread, I should say that I did buy a car off him for something like $276 or there abouts :D I drove it for a summer and then took it to the scrapper.

[longboy]

Let's just say there are 4 sides to a pair of underwear :flipoff2:

[Frank Z]

I'm so tight you can put a penny between my butt cheeks and hear Lincoln scream.

[Leon Phelps]

Gubermint cheese is the base for my queso dip.
I drink PBR & Steel Reserve 211.
For almost 4 years I drove absolutely nothing but 300 dollar beaters from the LAPD auto auction. Still was cheaper than fixing any of them.

'nuff said

[Jefe]

I bought a car once for $70 from my uncle, drove it for a year, then drove it to a you-pull-it yard and got $70 for it.

1978 Chyrsler Cordoba

[Trango]

Cheap off!

[mkbruin]

Hey now... lets not be knocking the Cordoba's....


And you're damn right I'm cheap.... I'm married. All my money goes to her.

[scottycards]

I've had vehicles that I owned in the driveway worth more than the house, when added up. And the house was in Boulder!

Guess I'm kinda bass-ackwards.

[Tom N]

I drive cars I got free. Wheres the Jesse Ventura thread,Gimp?:flipoff2:

I'm cheap unless its gadgets, toys, tools or eating out. I do try to enjoy myself, I just dont spend money where I dont have to.

And I include my motorcycles as toys.

[JeepWheelin02]

I'm so tight you can put a penny between my butt cheeks and as you pull itout it makes copper wire.

Fixed it for ya! :flipoff2:

My current daily driver I only paid $800 for

That must be why my "who's the HGTD?" question got deleted too.:laughing:

[TONIC]

are you so tight you squeak!!

[Mcstiff]

I have an expensive family to spend money on so I drive a 1991 Audi with 1 working window, no AC and body damage. One of these days it will be an S2 replica unless I dump it for a 944 (cheap [to buy], fast in a stock class, with enough headroom [~40"]).

[CapnCrunch]

The last new vehicle I bought was my 89 Toyota pickup. My trail rig (88) I got for $500 (but have since sunk a crap-load more money into it). And my daily driver car (93) I got for $1 and a Snickers bar (had to put a new engine in it though). They all run great (as long as I can keep the squirrels from roosting in my pickup, though).

[POLLY]

My going rate is $10 a night but if you play your cards right, I will give you a colorado4x4 discount.

[bender]

[Suki]

I have not paid for a haircut in over 15 years. :D


lol, me either! well, 2 years.

[ni0h]

I was 38 before I had a new vehicle, and THAT was buying my wife a minivan.
...And I always cut my own hair (can you tell?)

Need to call DaJudge. I'm sure he can hook you up!! :flipoff2:

[Dagimp]

Oh, and I meant years AGO i had that much spending money. I'm neck deep now. Different living costs(own in stead of rent with no roomate), car payment along with the regular bills everyone else has.

[Batgirl]

I'm so cheap, I bring an empty water bottle through airport security and fill it with tap. I won't pay $3 for 12 oz of water.

Half of what I own is from Craigslist. Seriously. :D

I save an average of 40% at King Soopers by buying only what's on sale and diligently using coupons.

I always have a pantry full of staples- the kids call it the 'food cave'. I load up on the stuff we always eat/use when it's on sale, and I save big bucks this way. There have been times we've had 20 boxes of cereal stocked up. :rolleyes:

I have never had a car payment in my life until last year. I pay cash and buy what I can comfortably afford.

[IronMonkey]

I post on free bulletin boards only

My wife does the same, we could go months without buying food.
