speaking as a just married man, no. the rock is "spend what you can and are willing to pay". the 3 month salary is a jewelry industry myth to get you to spend a certain amount. honest jewelers will tell you to ignore that and spend what you can financially afford. it doesn't make sense to spend 3 months salary to not be able to afford anything else right? house, car, vacation, maybe kids stuff (college tuition, clothes, etc) and food.
My parents are muslims and my whole entire family is, they don't know anything nor are they open minded AT ALL and even if we were to ever get married they'd want her to convert... Which is a problem because I'm not into the religion (not like they know that). My parents are pretty crazy.
I met her online 5 years ago on habbo (a virtual world type of site), we spent a lot of time on there and that was obviously when I was like 13. We always liked each other and about two years ago she stopped talking to me and 6 months later said she knew 'I was not who I said I was' (she didn't know me that well compared to now) but she thought I was 21 and some creep. So that night I gave her pics of myself and many days later we cammed and I saw her and her twin and her older sister (who I talk to on fb chat also). Then we started talking on fb chat, and she gave me her phone number and we called/texted and we at times would talk for 5-6 hours a day with no school and she's really smart, talk about a lot of different things. We always wanted to meet eachother but I never had my license nor a car, so us going out about a year later (8/12/2013) I finally got my license around the same time but I had no money. I really tried in the months way before that to get a job with no luck, my cousin hooked me up with a job at little Caesars since he worked there. on 9/20 I finally drove to see her and we spent 2 and half hours together (drive there was 5 hours), it was amazing and I know I'd go twice a month when I can. But her dad if he knew would go crazy and we were close to getting caught but didn't. It's a pretty small town where she lives also, but I can't wait to go again, $90 in gas and I have the TSX this time which should be even smoother than the Mazda3.
It's complicated.. if I work my $8.25 job at little caesars I may be able to work to make $600 a month or so, $90 in gas round trip isn't bad. If my buddy that went to Houston, TX was here he would have just gave me $150 like that, but I feel better knowing that I worked for the money I went to see her with, since it was my first time, there were a lot of expenses.

M>B - Don't go through life hiding things. Anything you hide will be found and made public, it is how life works.
This is a promise.
You are young still, enjoy exchanging ideas with this girl, but if religion is a big barrier, and again you are so young, don't build your life around that person.
Sometimes things may seem "right" or whatever, but until you are done with college, and all that, I would say get with a girl that you can take out and do things with.
uh... 18 or 19... wow, that seems like a lifetime ago, but at the same time, yesterday...

Vsex TSX gets on the on-ramp and hits 95 getting on the highway. Im right behind him the whole time! 1 minute later he moves to the right lane still going about 85. I pull up beside him in the left lane and downshift in 4th (about 5500 RPM) and then....
I literally sat there for 2 minutes waiting to have some fun, staring at him the whole time, and nothing... stone cold look straight at the road...
No one ever wants to have fun with me!

Today during a data log session, I did a little opening of the throttle in second gear, the VSA kicks on, and then the BPV sounds off. The ECU cuts the throttle off completely... soo much power to the tires... soo much POWA!!!!

But religion is not a barrier, she made me have a much more open mind and she didn't pressure me towards it. We can do things, and I do have time for it as most people wouldn't (I go to night school only 3 hours and Mon-Thurs).
Thanks for the advice.

The worst part of this experience is this guy works at the same place I do and lives across the street from me. So now I see him everyday.

M>B - I wasn't referencing between you and her, I was referencing her family, should have been more clear.
Don't worry man. I don't know anything.
Had I been smart enough to listen to older guy's telling me stuff.... who knows where I'd be right now.
I get it though, gotta find your own way. We all do.
So the tuning continues, what the K level 78% mean? That can't be great, right??

LOL That's hella awkward....
Loving my new light setup on my bike
Cheapo mounts off eGay for around $6 and a 2 pack of CREE Q5 flashlights from Home Depot that I got a while back for $15. This shit lights up the entire street!

That was me in my V6 a few months ago. I was being tailgated by a focus st on an S curve on ramp. I normally take it quicker than most but he was all over me. So when we merged with highway traffic, I punched it and quickly got up from 40 to around~100. This guy was in my trunk the whole way blowing his horn and flashing his lights. I meekly coasted over to the right lane and let him by.

Funny part is he has an older Viper in his garage.
But still, fuck that guy.

Ok guys, I need some input on something. So on my way to school a while ago, I was playing golf on the highway and this cunt basket in an Orange Cavalier decides to give me a birdie when I speed up past him. Like dafuh? If anything, I should be the one flicking him off #HoustonDrivers

You can go on forever if you'd like. It's not like it's gonna completely kill your engine right away if you don't change it. If anything you should prolly change it sooner seeing how you drive lol.

now of course, I always lose... cause my car is slow.
I got my ass handed to me a few weeks ago by a old dude in a supercharged mini, before that a g37... then a modded brz.... STI... evo... well the list goes on.

that's the beauty of our car. it's a sound sleeper that looks sexy as fuck imo. Sure you can go buy an STI, a G, etc. and win. That ain't fun imo. Put some basic bolt ons on your TSX, and you'll destroy them. I'm sure optimus and UTAH would. And Joe would definitely keep up if not win as well (especially after he tunes it). Plus, even after the basic bolt ons and FI, your car is STILL cheaper than an EVO/STI.
Win win.
Win win.
but, yeah if Joe can get 300+ whp out of his it'll keep up with most of those cars. I don't know about beating them... maybe.
The issue though is still the FWD and open diff. The TSX will never win off a stop or low speed starts... just a crap ton of one wheel spin lol.
how much does the diff swap cost?
Also it's not really cheaper is it? WRX is like.. $25k, then stage 2 is a little under $1k.
STI is $34k MSRP, stage 2 $1k-ish. Dunno about Evo but they are dead now anyways. TSX was $34k msrp right? or something around that.
Infiniti G, yeah that costs way more but it's a much more premium / luxury car than any of these.
