Okay. I get paid roughly $350 every 2 weeks from Wendy's. I've been wanting to get several things for my truck but needs have been creeping up on me. I average about $130 out of that $350 for gas (2 weeks worth) and at least $50 in the bank and this paycheck I owe my dad $50. Leaves me with....(runs some lab tests)....$130 in the pockets.


Wants:
(Operation Lighthouse)
Chrome Lightning-Style Projectors
Lightning-style turn signals
Recon 3rd LED brakelight
Recon LED main brakelights/turnsignals
LEDs in my license plates
Stealth bulbs
Silverstar Ultras

Needs:
New front brake pads (squeeking like crazy)
4x New Michelin tires (almost to wear bars)
Front-end alignment
Balance and rotation (void if new tires come first)
Prom (April 19th!!!!)
Sun 'n Fun (April 8-13th)


What to do?

 

Realize that you can't have everything.

My best advice ever.

 

save the money for prom and fun. truck will always be there. prom only comes once.

 

Well I'm a Jr. so I'll have next year too. My conscience keeps telling me: "get the lights, you can save next paycheck"

Any idea how to shut this kid up? All I pay for is gas (no bills, no rent, nada) so I can kinda see how I can afford it but I don't want to fuel the fire.

 

Yes... take the money from the Wendy's cash register and walk out.

 

junior prom? must be a florida thing. but still. i would save for that. im not sure how yall do it over there. but my prom here in Texas was freakin expensive. do you know how much a Navigator limo cost?

 

What you need to do is find a better paying job. JK, get your break pads, what size of tires do you need 18's?

 

break = Time for relax. Usually after work.
18's = He's got 16" rims.


I think he should just get new tires and brakes too.

 

We're doing the cheap way: dinner at her house, ride in her mom's 06 Volvo X70 convertible. limo and dinner are for senior prom. Min wage went up to $6.79/hr, not bad for my first job (hired in Aug)

Tires: P255/70R16, preferabbly Michelins. i love them and I can get a discount from my g/f's mom (owns tire store)

 

Well since I cant take care of anything else on your Needs list....

$30 for pads? How much does Ford charge OEM? Thats what I was originally planning. Keep it cheap and simple.

 

I'm not sure how much fords are... but I priced some Hawk pads for a ranger the other day and they were about $80.

I wouldn't go with anything too cheap... you are dealing with your braking system.

 

Front pads (come in set of 2) - $99.98
Rear pads (come in set of 2) - $89.98

 

OEM? I don't think my drums need anything yet. I dont do brakestands or anything of that sort.

 

ah. but really find a better paying job. i just graduated and i make $25/hour. its not that hard to find a good paying job
