    Default HDTV for the low, or car parts?

    Earlier this month I got a call from my cousin back in Ohio and he tells me that he can get me a deal on a 30 in. Samsung HDTV for about $400-450 on his discount at Best Buy. But I want to get a couple parts for my car while I'm back in Cincinnati. I really don't know which route I should go.

    Hmmm, well if you already have a TV why buy another... and if your car needs parts then go for the car bro. I say the car bc its a transportation and a TV isn't.

    I was looking into getting a new lip, grille, and fog lights for the sedan. Just to tidy up the appearance a little bit.

    Yeah, I'm just hoping my car will hold up long enough in that messed up midwest winter weather to bring it back to Atlanta in one piece.

    I do.... So when you guys finally come over I could point out the obvious that I have one and you don't.

    It's not bad....yet. But I'm going to be up there for a few weeks and I know the roads are going to start to fall apart by the time I come back. Or have already began to fall apart.

    I just spoke to my cousin today and he told me that it hasn't been snowing up there but it has been raining. And on Sunday there was freezing rain.

    *Update*

    On a good note I made it to Cincinnati in 6 hours a new personal record. But on a bad note my dad layed some bad news on me. Turns out that while I've been in Atlanta with my mom's ride for the last few weeks my car has been giving them problems. My dad told me that he's scared to drive it. I laughed on the outside but I think a little bit of me died inside when he told me that. So I might have to let my dad send it out to pasture. And I might end up with my mom's '02 Monte Carlo. Not like there is anything wrong with that, hell, it's a new car. They've been talking about this for about a week or two now. She's looking into getting a new car anyway so its really not a big deal to her. So I might have to let the sum biotch go. It's done the job for the last 5 years so no complaints by me. So....overall this day would have sucked if I hadn't gotten a philly cheesesteak for dinner.

    Its not fully decided just yet. Plus I haven't driven the car at all. So If I feel that it's not able to make the trip back down I-75 then that's it.

    well, I don't have one YET... but it is Christmas time. I think it'd be a great present for the famz and I would benefit from it, too.

    Not as much as ATL. But there are a couple of things. On saturday I'm going to Indiana to go snowboarding with my cousin and a few of my other friends. The place is like 20 minutes from Cincy. But for the next few weeks I'm gonna need to dig deep to find stuff to do up here.
