I only have one CC, had it for 3 years now... I'm paying damn 15.99% APR on a $2000 balance, and I can't make any sizeable payments while I'm in school, I have to wait till next summer. I'm paying about $30/mo. in interest. Alot of that stuff has been stuff I wasted money on for my old car, and other stuff like school books, and necessities like new tires, etc. I've had a balance of ~$2000 for soooo long, I can't wait to get rid of it all.

Heh... I got my Comptech Exhaust, Comptech MIG headers, Koni Yellows, and Eibach Pro-Kit all at the same time from Mike at Diablo. And off of those low prices, I told him about the group buys going on on some of the stuff and he knocked like $50 off the order and I got the above stuff for $1595! I'm going to be getting the Icebox before the 26th (dyno day), and I'll make sure to pick up a tasteful sticker like dLo has.

What my trunk looked like after my spending spree:

Yeah, watch out for those credit cards... it's tempting to go nuts buying things and screw yourself as a result, especially when your limit is high and the APR is low. I got a new MasterCard a couple of months ago and have already run it up to a little over $900 and I still want to buy rims, tires, springs, and shocks.Hopefully I'll be able to limit myself to just rims/tires, then start actually reducing the balance. A $5k limit isn't a good idea for an impulse buyer such as myself. Anyways, good luck with your mods and card.

Oh man... heh. Since my parents cosign on the card, my credit limit is $35,000. That's right, 35 grand. Its always nice to know I could buy a Bimmer but not ever actually be able to pay for it.

lol, I'd be in trouble if I had that high of a limit. A turbo kit, Porsche 944, etc would seem like nothing when the limit is $35k. I'm trying to resist buying a turbo kit as it is now, but a project car is a bit tempting, especially if I could find like a wrecked Teg.

Cool. I wonder if they'd laugh at me if I called 'em up and asked to lower my limit, lol.

It's just so damn tempting, but maybe after I pay off around 1000 or so. But I can't wait to get the intake and exhaust installed. I already think that the GSR pulls pretty good, expecially tonight as I was coming home at 1:00 a.m., everything was just so clean as I redlined from 1st-3rd. I now think I'm going to kick my brother's ***, he scared and BTW the more **** I get for my car the more jeluos he get's and wishes he had a GSR.

Damn guys...take it easy with the credit cards. I hate to see people f$ck themselves by over spending, especially younger people that don't realize how bad it can get. If you are only paying the monthly minimum, you are basically only paying the interest incured each month and have not put a dent in the principal that you owe. If I don't have the money to cover my credit card bills I don't use it unless it is an absolute emergancy. One thing you can do when the 0% expires is to transfer the balance to another 0% card, but make sure to cancel the original card. Please be careful or it will haunt you in the future when you really need the money.

i wouldnt get the comptech header. i bought mine for $495 and that was 3 years ago. its hasnt gone down in price much or given more HP performance.
i would go w/ JDM 4-1. u will pay about the same after all is said and done maybe more cuz of the cat to match plus u will get more HP gains.

oh yeah......i love CC debt. its the american way.

Why not the Comptech, and do you have the 4-2-1 or 4-1. BTW I don't want high-end power
