Poll: Turbo owners
I am trying to get a feel for the demographic here...how many people support themselves and how many people live at home or have other arrangements that free up some funds for turbo.
I am single and i live on my own supporting myself and i have too many toys and i am coming up short for the turbo install.

I support myself and am eating lots of hotpockets. But thats just cause I'm a crappy cook. I'm not broke...but my little clothing sprees have come to an end. I just want overtime back at work. It was all worth it though.

Re: Poll: Turbo owners (falconGSR)
I'll probably vote, but I'm trying to decide if I should just click on the "..wealthy enough" choice or add "I have a big gun, L'eggs stockings, and tons of banks nearby".. 
I would feel bad for you, but you are single, living on your own, and have too many toys. If you really want a Turbo, sell one of the other toys...
(Disclaimer: I posted that out of humor and would never actually comit any kind of crime. Besides, can you really still buy L'eggs??)

"Turbolife", its a lifestyle where everything you buy like clothes or food makes you think of what you could have bought for your turbo setup.
I have much respect for anyone just living on their own here in the bay where rent is up the @ss!!

that's exactly what i'm talking about. i've noticed that i've been staying at home more these days spending more time on the computer(honda-tech). i tend to zone out reading topics often missing important phone calls, being unable to hear people talking to me while reading/posting topics etc. etc. My social life seems to diminish day by day too unless forums count as social interaction. When was the last time i ate out? just, whatever's left in the fridge is good for me. i need to take a break from this but, turbo project's still not finished so i must endure a couple more months and i'm back to reality

Re: Poll: Turbo owners (falconGSR)
in my case, my parents let me stay at home until i finally transfer to a university (after 4 years!) so i basically have to work to play. before this, i usually just went out w/ friends and got drunk or use money here and there but now that i'm putting my turbo kit togther i'd rather spend it on my car than get wasted. so til then, no drinkies for meeees!
to me.

Re: Poll: Turbo owners (penjaja)
To get my first turbo kit (DRAG 3) i quit smoking and used all the proceeds that i wasnt spending to help pay for it. I put 4 bucks in a jar for a whole year. I work part time for a dairy so i just live on ice cream and chocolate milk, it gets old but its free.
