    So here's the deal:

    I've got some birthday money (it doesn't matter how much, but it's not time for a 4x4 conversion and SAS) and I'm kinda bewildered as to what to do with it.

    To be honest, all 3 choices actually do need one thing or another, and that's why I'm torn. I love them all.


    The truck needs some paint in places and a set of wiper blades and a few odds and ends all over the inside of the cab.

    The girl needs some clothes, (ok...the "clothes" I'm talking about probably are more for me :D) and I'd like to take her for a night on the town.

    And the home... have you ever seen "The Money Pit"? Well, it's not that bad. But it is one of those things where once I fix one thing, another breaks. It needs a lot of things (just like the truck.)


    So you see, there are 3 places my money needs to be. And so everyone knows...my girl is one of the few who wouldn't mind if I didn't spend it on her :yay:

    In the end, a truck is just that, a truck. If you dont vote for the girl you are either gay or you dont value spending time with the person you love, your best friend. When you spend quality time with your significant other, those memories stay and you reflect on them while daydreaming and what not. I would rather have a beautiful relationship full of moments LIKE YOU WILL HAVE WHEN YOU USE THE MONEY TO TAKE HER OUT and a not up to par truck and house than vice versa. Just my .02

    A lot of times people regret not spending more time with their family/friends. Those are the bonds you rely on most in life (for the most part). Funny because I just had an epiphany about this earlier tonight at a family dinner.

    the fact that she wouldnt mind it if you spent it on the truck just makes her deserve being #1 all the more, trucks are notoriously good at being patient bro :cool:

    I say the house. It is just as important to keep a good roof over you loved ones head as to spend time with them.
