$2700 diamond engagement ring.

But seriously, I've rarely spent money on things that I simply "want". Even when I was younger.

Oh... Wait... I've got 3000+ (yes, three thousand) comics books that won't be valuable for another 30 years. Well, Wolverine limted series 1-4 from 1982 is worth a few bucks now.

Wow, that's alot of comics! I wish i had the money to get into comics when i was a kid. What comics do you collect that aren't valuable yet?

I'm really prudent with my money... the only time I buy stupid things are when I'm traveling. When I was in Sacramento in 4th grade, I bought my mom some earrings that she's never worn, and when I was in Thailand a few years ago I bought a pretty box for 20 bucks that just collects dust on my desk now.

I buy my mother a spoon from every state I travel to because they're the dumbest things ever. Usually I forget, but she has a Maine spoon and a Washington DC spoon. They only cost like 3 bucks though.

What the ****?!?!?! That's an obscene amount of money for sneakers. I paid half that. Once. Never again.

My current sneakers cost me 30 bucks. They're Reebok and they look nice. They surely aren't PIMP.

Why in the world would you have an A8 and a 740i, Doug? :odd:

Two words: sexy.

I programmed the built-in telephones to have each other on speed dial as number 1, now they're connected.

Unfortunately garage space says I can't buy any more cars. Too bad, too - I really wanted a Dodge Stratus with Autostick and an Acura Vigor.

Those are two cars that'll pretty much fade into automotive mediocrity...
 
The stupidest purchase I've ever made would probably have to be this TRD clock. I spent 70 dollars and the damn thing doesn't even have numbers. The sad thing is, I just bought it last week. Atleast the disc spins, and the coilover actually works.

My wristwatch band broke - I walked around the zoo Sunday carrying it in my pocket. Everytime I pulled out, it looked like I had a pocketwatch - everyone wanted to know: "Are you from the 1800s?"

I've got something similar by AutoArt - it's about 12 or 13 inches and it's wall-mounted. It cost like $70 canadian but it was from a gift certificate :).


Neither do Movado watches and they're cool. Sorta.

Who needs numbers?

My bro bought one for himself, our mom, and for me. He later got a 4th movado that the two of us share. He spends waaay too much of his money if you ask me, but the watches sure do look purty :p.
 
The most worthless thing I have bought, would have to be a $100 CO2 air pistol with a laser sight, which you can't see anyways in the day when a person would use it.
 
My Rolex doesn't have numbers, theres little diamonds were they are supposed to be. Its hard as hell to tell the time. Not to mention I'm alergic to what even the metal of the watch is. Errr more I think about the more I wish I had my 3 grand back.

Dang, first I sight 12 sec Civic floating around, and now Omar's back! Welcome to 2003, man! How's life treating you?

That clock is wickedcool, by the way. Maybe not $70 cool, but wickedcool nonetheless.
 
I bought an adapter kit to install a CD player in my car, for ten bucks. It has been sitting in my garage for two months. It is insanely complicated. The directions are worthless. It has ten thousand parts, most of which are for installation in other types of cars. Some day I will end up throwing it away. But at least it was only ten bucks.
 
^do you mean anthology? It's a good Cd.

I haven't bought anything useless. Well, there's always Commandos3 wich sucked. But I got it for my birthday. And I wished it, so it's my fault.
 
Hey duo17 if you'd like to get rid of it, im sure you could sell it on ebay;) ;) Heck someone here might want it ;) ;) Oh, nice car. I also have GT-S, but not body kit. It'll make a good sleeper.
 
The only thing I can think of is $600 for a set of 18s for my old Civic. Thought that would improve my handling before I went and bought my current WRX. Then I thought it would look rather retarded going from 14s all the way up to 18s, so I ended up never installing them. Now the Civic is sold, but I still got the 18s and nobody wants to buy them.
