why do we buy shit we dont need?

So yet again, i bought some stuff for another hobby, that delayed my car hobby
 
i picked up a canon 10-22 
adn a 430ex speedlight
 
im starting to get paid more to take pictures (not alot, but hey its gas money)
But, because of this i cant make ebisu.....but whatever, there is a summer matsuri too right!
 
 
 
does this happen to anyone else.  Always buying stuff you really shouldnt ....lol

damn u got a 10-22??

how do you like it?

Im in between getting the 10-22 and the 17-40L...

the 10-22 is rated consistently above the 17-40L. The only reason i Dont think its an L lens is becasue of hte EF-S mount.  But its Super duper wide. Super duper sharp.  and i love the way the lighting works with it. Its fantastic.
I can highly reccomend it to anyone wanting a good solid wide angle
Dont buy the tamron, sigma, MAYBE the tokina (i have a friend who swears by tokina shit).
 
I liek to buy all canon, im a brand ***** i guess.

I told him the same thing when we were talking about today..I'm also torn between the 10-22 and 17-40L

I bought a set of JIC 17" wheels. 5 bolt.

Both my cars are 4 bolt, I have no idea why I bought them.

I'm still in debt and low on cash, so I returned them and I'm gonna use them for showroom stock for a month or so before I pay for them again. Perks of working in a wheel and tire shop.

I also bought a pair of used SSR EX-C. No idea what I'm gonna do with a pair of wheels, especially since EX-Cs are pretty expensive. But it's a nice start to a collection...

Im beyond guilty :sad:

^^welcome to the club.

anis, knowing you and your style, i think you would get better use from the 17-40. i think the 10-22 is more of a novelty for you, cause i know exactly why you want it. not that it would get old fast, but i think the 17-40 would suit you better. 

and out of curiosity...why the 430 and not the 580?

I find myself constantly buying diecast. And I have since moved off of the cheap Hot Wheels and Mattels, and gone to the $100+ Autoart's, UT's and Kyosho's.

Might not seem like much, but when you get three of four every other week or so, it gets expensive.

This entire website is based on buying shit we don't need.

I've noticed a lot of car guys are also into photography. I wonder why.

gambling and hookers take all my money...i get 3 hookers a day and then go gambling and get more hookers on the way home

Use some of the hookers to gamble for you and take a cut of the profits. Make them pay you their losses with sexual favours.

sounds like a winning plan to me

I just buy car parts .. but that wine fridge and new set of lights for the 5 series... didnt help ... 


we'll someone buy my rims ! and I'll feel better

Because that's what makes this world go round!

impulse buying, seems right at the time but later on u regret it.

Before I could drive, I was really heavy into clothes & shoes
Now it's: 
Video games
Car parts
fast food
VIPmags
etc.
 
but I feel I need these! :shrug:

^^^haha .. before i could drive i was heavy into cars .. but obviously didnt have a car to put money towards .. so i would buy surfboards and snowboards up the ass

now it freakin designer jeans .. shoes .. my motorcycle that i ride in a blue moon .. and TOOLs .. i work on BMWs for a living so im buying Snap On tools up the ass everyweek

I bought robo toilet...

before i could drive i bought lowrider magazines like crazy, i was into comics and cards for a good while too, that pretty much was all i spent any money on. once i had a car i just spent my money going out and living. never really cared about video games or other lil hobbys, here and there id buy camera equipement. the only constant through out my whole life has to be shoes. not a day goes by that i dont check for new releases. sigh...it takes alot of will power for me to walk by the shoe store if i happen to be at the mall for any other reason. seems like the latest obsession is guns, but im just getting into that so i havent spent alot of money on that just yet, but i will...lol

if i want it i need it so i get it.

i buy car audio stuff all the time that i don't need. right now the 2nd floor of my garage is loaded iwth speakers, subs, boxes, amps, etc. that isn't even being used. i just bought 4 Treo 12's the other day with a treo amp for $300. i dont' need it, shit, i can't even fit it in a car that i own rgiht now, but it was a hell of a deal that i couldn't pass up.
that put me behind on my paint fund....

lol i almost bought 2 extra screens for the steal of the century. but then i thought to myself, i dont even need them...what would i do with them? thankfully money was a little tight that week otherwise id  have 2 extra screens for no reason. but going back now, i think i could have made more than a few bucks off them

considering I work here at Apple....  I keep buying and messing with all my CPUs, especially my Mac Pro...  how many damn screens can I run?  

and because of gas, I ride my road bike to work whenever I can.  Now I sold my first road bike, and ordered a new one... haha damn these San Francisco Hills

what type of bike you have? im looking into getting a commuter bike but hitting 101 is pretty scary and i want something like a moped of some sort(yes its a bit ghey...but its hella good on gas lol)

my bad, its a road bicycle!  no gas, all pedal power!  :)

OH DAMN....is your office that close? i work in mtn view(you kno my place lol) but i stay in san jose. So commuting is not bad, because my hours are right before rush our to late. But i need something that is alot better on gas. i really dont want to buy another car either.

office is close, roughly about 3 -5 miles ride depending on my mood.  If I want to just relax, I got the long way.... barely any hills... If I want to go quickly or get a workout... I go the shorter route with monster hills, at least the downhill is fun

The way I see it is, I rather spend my money on my car then at the strip club

Latest addition to my "crap i dont need" list...

^^thats pretty dope...keep us updated when you get some color/shading done.

I spent all my money on my cars and its put me neck deep in debt. If you ever own 2 VW Corrados you will understand that these cars take a lot to keep them happy. 

Now that I am completely caught up and starting my new career. Its time to get into something a little more prestigious.=)

The Craftsman pro series are really nice!!! I don't see any diff. in the quality.The only thing that's nice about the tool dealers is that they come to you!! You don't have to leave the shop to have a tool warrantied!! :rules:I got my tool guy's on a leash!!!!:thelaw:LOLOL:smiley-rofl::smiley-rofl:

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;165613]^Snap-on has a life time warrentee.  They would replace what ever you broke[/QUOTE]

So does Craftsman. Just take it to Sear's and they replace it no questions asked.
