Anyone wanna guess if he has a 401k, an IRA, or any savings account?

Not really. The guys a fool in my opinion and there's no way I'd spend >250 over a video card. Thats the most expensive component in the computer for the most part.

The kid is 20.

He is either stupid or spoiled way to much in which case, his parents are stupid.

And in either case, this leads to the question. Where the fvck does someone with half a brain get money to blow on $600 lug nuts?

well said

Indeed. Just like the guys that buy window side kits for their pc's etc.

So that's where all these kids are getting that from...

"Dat's tight dude!"

He's got some tight nuts.

stupid question: can titanium steel and aluminum be sandwhiched together like that without any galling/galvanic corrosion?

edit: some googleing gave me this handy chart
http://www.engineersedge.com/galvanic_capatability.htm
which suggests hes going to have a problem with galvanic corrosion

His car:

He put Honda badges on an Acura

I think he just has more money than he knows what to do with:

15. JDM oil dipstick
19. Mugen oil cap

well acura is american rebrand of honda... IIRC they sell RSX in japan as Honda Integra

THAT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE.

PERHAPS MUGS IS CONFUSED AS TO WHY SOMEONE WOULD SPEND MONEY AND TIME TO DO SUCH A THING

If the studs have more than a trace of cadmium in their protective coatings the reaction can be adverse. This is unrelated to galvanism but comes from a metallurgist with SR71 avionics experience.

[imported_wicka]

You know, of any group, we should be most understanding of someone spending ridiculous amounts of money on seemingly useless stuff...

 

[Babbles]

It's his choice to spend his money the way he sees fit, but with that being said I do think it is just a dumb choice.
