If you buy SC first, you can buy engagement ring later. If you tie the knot first, youll never buy a SC cause she wont let ya lol.

^^ He's got a point... might have a better chance of getting the SC now... and THEN get married.

That is unless she's cool and would help you get it. Two incomes are better than 1 for car parts.

Take it from someone who just recently got married.....get the S/C first. :D

Wait a minute......ah.... .....got it. Get both. Go to QVC and get a Diamonique Ring. She'll never know the difference and you could still afford the S/C. Then later when she's not expecting it, swap the ring for a real one.

wow... i voted get the engagement ring first...

the s/c will always be there, the girl won't wait forever!

Plus if you do tie the knot, you should be able to spend your money the way you want to (after you take care of the bills of course )

This is gonna sound corny...

GO FOR LOOOVE!!

ok, this is easy..

assuming youve got an '05 tc, trade it in for an '06, and get the supercharger with it, and finance it all the way...i think you can do that...
hmm i should know this, i work at toyota

that way you can buy her the ring and your monthly payments on the tc wont be too bad..

I thought the topic option was some new performance mod called Engagement? YOu know like the perfomance Chips? I don't know, I'm not a mod, but shouldnt this be moved????


So my answer anyway, Since i think its in the wrong place and my life is semi miserable with not asking my girl about this stuff............Be like me! Get all the car mods you want! Go fast as you can all by yourself like me?

(did i say that out loud
?)

Will a Supercharger ever ask interrupt your sunday football game? Will a Supercharger _____ and moan about how it doesn't like your friends? Will a Supercharger ever get mad at you for what you didn't say, then be mad because you apologize but don't know why you are doing it, then hold out on you until you go crazy? Will a Supercharger's in-laws ever call you worthless, or lazy. Will a Supercharger's parents tell you to get a better. Will a Supercharger EVER be considered a 'fun-meter' on your time? Will a Supercharger ever get ____y if you look at other Superchargers? Will a Supercharger ever find your stash of Supercharger videos under the bed/in the closet and go ape-**** about how "how you don't need to look at other Superchargers because I'm all you need"? etc, etc, etc.

Yeah, that's all good and fine, but you can't have sex with a supercharger....

...Okay, you *shouldn't* have sex with a supercharger...

You can finance a ring at some of the mall jewelry stores. I would do this first because if you get the SC, you may not have a finger to put the ring on! But if you get the ring first, you better be prepared to save for a wedding/ honeymoon and not a SC. Tough call but I would have to say wait on the SC or find a way to finance BOTH so you can make small payments that won't kill your finances and just pay a little extra on them when possible. Good luck on this one!

who cares about the SC... it's fine without it....

You can have a slow car to cruise with the girl you love or a fast car to go cruising for chicks since you'll be single...

She will be pretty disappointed if she is expecting an engagement ring and you come home one day w/ almost 4K in car mods.

____ed is more like it...
Love vs. 192WHP???
I'll go with love. That SHOULD last your life, your SC won't.
