You’re a fricking poser. That post proves frick all.

That’s one ugly as Porsche, and I love Porsches.

I have no idea why you’d make up so many lies, probably for the attention so desperately crave

quote:

$563 for a 3200 sqft house with 2 adults and 1 baby. This is fricked up. We don’t even use much electricity.


But you can afford a 100k Porsche, right?

Things on vehicles like tires are what I consider invaluable. Sure, things are more costly nowadays, but you need a good tire. Your drive your family to and from expecting them to be safe? Then don’t let $1k trouble you.

I guess it’s surprising how tires (rubber portion) makes up such a % of a vehicle.

I think you’re just envious because both my wife and I work hard. She makes more yes that’s true. That doesn’t mean I make little.

I’m not jealous or envious or your phony lifestyle. No one that makes as much as you claim to make bitches about how expensive everything is

Uhhhhhhhhh I have news for you champ, people who make hard earned money value the work it takes to make it and therefore are upset at the costs of everything.

Idk how much more I can prove except I will be in LA sometime this year to go see the site where my company is building the data center… you can come by say hi

just get a light truck and dont worry about it.

i have a tacoma and my last set i replaced because i was more worried about dry rot than tread wear. had a set of BFG KO2 that i changed at 97k miles after 7 years. i could have driven them another 10k comfortably if they didnt have dry looking sidewalls.


i will say though prices are crazy. that set of KO2s was 750 from discount tires in 2015 and when i priced them in 2022 the same set was over 2k. ended up going with a $1300 option instead.

Can’t get a truck. We have our families come by frequently,

Me, wife, parents (2 at a time), baby, sometimes nephews and sister/brother in law and that’s a 7 plus 5 seater
