    No clue how much 700 quid is, but my rims were $500 usd a piece.

    Cool, my girlfriend had a sculpture just like that. I never really understood why, but modern art is not my strong side.

    Edit: That was a reply to a now removed post with a picture of a certain adult-related tool.

    Well, you also have to take in account that you can get more in the USA than in Great Britain (Quid is the English colloquialism for GBP [pound]).

    Ahem... The 'ghetto' terminology for "rims" is "mags"...
    <i>"Hey Leeroy, that's a ghetto set 'o mags you got for your Ford! Those be 24's?" Thurgood asked him.</i>


    All terminology aside, why do people bother with car modifications? I suppose it's to show their level of wealth, yes? (although my family has a considerably higher income than my friend's, yet he has a 'classy' car).

    First off screw ghetto terminology, I don't live in teh ghetto. Bro. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    As to why "people bother with car modifications" I can only speak for myself. I have a most beautiful automobile that had a most ugly set of stock rims on it, that hardly did the car justice. Now it rides on BBS rims fit for a king. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I guess I won't know what it is to customize your car until I actually own one...

    The most expensive thing I've bought this month is a packet of lamingtons.

    I got a roasted turkey sandwitch from Einstein Bros today, I'd say that's the most expensive so far.

    :edit:

    My close second was a Barbocoa burrito from Chipotle.

    So you got this job at the theater now, and you spend all your money on food. What's wrong with THIS picture? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I had a sleep study done last night that probably cost $1,500 usd, although insurance should pay 80% of that. Still, 300 bux is still a chunk of change to pay for sleeping in a small bed with 20 electrodes hooked to ya. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
