ToyotaFest 2006 - The Roadtrip

[RONA]

Haha, fingers crossed it's not me, I don't know how I managed to miss all this conversation.


I'm up for the Pepsi challenge, stacks on the Soarers...

...oh and coff33, it's going to take a little more than a CT26 to play ball

I'll kindly pwn the 1ggte with CT26

[Danners]

I deem this Soarer-fest 2006

Oh i definitely need to come to this. Nothing beats the smell of p00 and coolant in the morning...

ahhhh

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I'll kindly pwn the 1ggte with CT26

This is going to be amusing.

[Admiral coFF33]

"In Russia, CT26 boosts YOOUUUU! "

hahahaha

[hamgatan]

im out for the count... my tax return | commissions came back far less than i predicted.. i dont have anywhere near enough for this trip... *upset now*

[CrUZida]

Thats what the credit card is for

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Haha, that's my motto. And if I really get stuck, it's time to make that change to a Virgin card and dump whatever I can't pay onto 6 months interest free to stabilise everything

[CrUZida]

Virgin cards have a $1000 limit for the first 12months (at least, they did when Kev first got his a coupla years ago).

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Sip' got given a $6k limit, they would've had to have changed that quick smart.

[hamgatan]

i try not to live on credit if i can

i was a bit silly in my late teens and went overboard on credit and yeah, well i learnt my lesson. its so easy to spend money... but its so much easier to spend someone elses

now im at the point where my expenses / repayments balance out my paypacket and dont leave a lot of room after... dont want to go past that line where i start going into the red

[CrUZida]

Well, let me put it this way.

You earn 40k a year.
You take 2 weeks off work
You get paid for those 2 weeks.
Thats $1500.

There are 2 of you.

Thats $3000 (if you go 50:50)

I'm budgeting $3000 for the whole trip.
Giving me a shade over $1800 for fuel, and $1000 for other things.

Now, if you don't get paid for holidays, you are screwed.

[hamgatan]

u get paid for the holidays yes..but the costs dont disappear just because you go on holidays

rent 2 weeks - 680
car loan component 2 weeks - 305
mobile bill (2wks) - 25
internet bill (2wks) - 35
telstra bill (2wks) - 15
alinta bill (2wks) - 30
synergy bill (2wks) - 40

theres $1130 of that $1500 gone already.. and lets assume that $1500 is pretax... its about $1290ish by the time the government gets their ugly hands on it.. leaves me with umm... $150 to make it to sydney and back? not fair

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Sif your gas bill is $60 a month!

[RONA]

Sif your gas bill is $60 a month!

He's cooking drugs

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Then he's definetly earning more than that a month!
