I just went off-roading in my S-10, and realized I need a proper front bumper. One that will take some abuse while on the trail. I cant find anything online though. Once Chevy killed the S-10 everybody stopped selling off-road parts. I may have to get something custom made.
If thats the case, it will certainly cost more than $250.

Also, I just picked up an Acer netbook for about 300. It has everything I need and then some. I may even spend some more money and get a case for it. Perhaps even a car charger if I can find one.

Better be a manual.

It's actually not . But thats okay since the shifting in the automatic has no lag like the previous version. Also they tend to sell quicker if I had to do that.

King Size 5-piece Bedroom set.

Been without a bedroom set for over 2 years, now with my new house, i needs my nightstands.

Might buy that this weekend. Besides that, a lot of stuff for the house. Windows, Flooring,

home-ownership is expensive

I've got 10 1.5TB drives coming in for my file server, but those are already paid for. So I guess it would be the 4 E30 BMW's I'm picking up for parts Saturday.

can be anything... a car, house, gadget, clothes, etc.

just bought a C2Q PC so a laptop or this TV is probably my next big ticket purchase.

why not just go for the 50" LED set that Samsung just released? It's nearly the same price, and perhaps quite awesome-er.

i don't get it. the one i linked to is LED and i'm getting the 55".

A new dSLR. Trying to get into photography, I'm a noob.

Was hoping to get a Canon XSi but I'm waiting to see what happens when the T1i comes out and if there is any effect on prices for the XS or XSi (I think I would be happy either way).

just bought a bunch of furniture, about $2200 total (cabinet, bookshelves, end tables), but that's already paid for, so it's not "next".

next actual big thing will probably be TV. might be time to replace the ol' 27" CRT.

damn, I thought only my parents were rocking a 27"

They spend more on dinner often than that TV is worth.

My mother will probably spend 250$ of mine on something to fix up our rental property between now and when our new tenants move in next month.

I don't know or care what it might be, but I know I'll appreciate when the rent checks start rolling in

I would think one would be more on top on their business. I am sure the details would explain why you are on autopilot.
