Extravagance

I caught the end of a Pimp My Ride episode tonight. And I realized something… having a car tricked out in those ways wouldn’t make my life better. In fact, it would probably raise my blood pressure to unhealthy levels. I would be nervous about people stealing it, breaking in, taking my rims, even dirtying it if it went in for repairs. The episode tonight featured a Rav4 with a big screen tv under the hood next to the engine block! How will that work? Impractical, stressful…. Anyway, it’s not for me. Now, I wouldn’t mind a tight sound system and a built in GPS navigation system with ipod capability… but that’s about as opulent as I could get.

Speaking of opulence, check out these ways to show off your swollen pocketbook:
