Hi Guys,
It's not terribly relevant or interesting, but it makes me sad and I had to sob somewhere. 
Get paid Thursday, and due this month is...
Comp Insurance /w Shannons $1800(damn 22, male, green P's...)
New Rear Tyres....guess $250 ea. for $500 all up
New Brake Pads(my car dont stop good no more) $400 for all 4 Bendix Ultimates
There you go, that's how to spend my pay for the month

Your third party quote is MORE EXPENSIVE than comprehensive??

By the way Alchemist what size tyres do you need? You should go to Tyrepower at Thornleigh as they will beat any quote that you get. I got a pair of Yoko A537's (205/40/15) for a total of $260

I had no idea this thread would generate this much interest, I suppose we all spend far too much money on our cars. The tyres I tend to buy are Bridgestone Potenza GIII's 205/40/16 , best price I was able to find on them was about $230 ea. I really wanted to get a tyre & allow package(hate my alloys, but they came with the car) from somwhere with some nice enkei, lenso or similar on, but I dont think it's going to happen

Sorry nathan, there is none left for you. Out of the rest comes the holidays money (China and Honk Kong later this year), bills money, My car, wife, 2yo child, and then food. Often there is none left after 1 week of a 2 week pay period
