Computer related or otherwise....

Mine was a Creative Infra 52x cd-rom drive for $50 about 3 years ago. I got it for the little remote thing, but shortly after I got a wireless keyboard and mouse. Also, creative didn't make any drivers for windows xp :confused:

i once bought a ring with 1 carat of cz in it from some dude...paid 150 bucks for the ring..which would have been a steal had the diamonds been real...i took it to a pawnshop before i bought it...they "tested" the diamonds and said they were real..so i bought them...after i had had the ring for a few months i needed cash so i took it to the same pawnshop to get rid of it...then they tested fake...i was like wtf and they said o yeah i remember you and this ring...we didnt have our diamond tester set up properly or some bs like that...at least the gold was real..i ended up getting 50$ for the whoel godamn thing... :(

whats even worse is i felt like a poser after that...since i had been sporting the ring since i bought it...fake bling...what a loser :(

EDIT: lesson learned...i now have a jeweler that i always go to...fvck those retards

'03 Trailbazer, not that there's anything wrong with it, but I would have been so much better off with a lease.

Prices dropped a ton about six months after I bought it in December of '03, so resale went to sh!t and now I'm probably $3K-4K upside down on it (owe $17K at 0%) even though I've paid $250 more a month on a purchase as opposed to a lease.

But, how was I to know that the wife was going to go from driving 35K mi./yr. to 4K miles with her new promotion?
