Sold my rims and got this... FAIL

So this was the reason I even thought about selling my rims.




Nothing amazing but she loves it and has no idea its coming. Plus I get free earrings with it. Going to pick it up on Saturday, had to wait to take it so I could get the earrings. Its what would be considered a promise ring, which I find pointless but you can be right or you can be happy lol.

Best part was I told her I backed out of selling them (all the while they were riding around in the back seat boxed up) so she is still thinking Valentines Day at the earliest to get it.

Got approved for a credit card too so now I can establish my credit. I already have the cash set aside I just need to get my credit going.

Her birthday is next Friday, I just have to try and wait til then to give it to her.


After I left I realized I have bought 3 of my 5 cars for less money than what I spent on a little piece of rock and metal.

I guess you could say that. 2 years back in Aug. She goes to school 2 hrs away and we are making things work so Id say we are pretty close.

She wanted a promise ring. Which to me is an engagement to an engagement to marriage, or in other words I dont get the point. Im not to the point I have to pay that much to get some yet lol. We all gotta pay one way or another though, its never free.

She has wanted one for about 8-9 months (no not for that reason lol) but I could never afford it. And just like a car, i planned for around 250-300, all said and done I was at 500. I really want to go pick it up tomorrow but 18 hrs of work is getting in my way.

I can just hope she likes it as much as she did when we looked at it. Would have been nice to wait til our 3 year but Im not one for waiting. Tomorrow is never promised so you gotta live now.

Congrats!! I see I'm not the only one who went out and bought a ring lately. I just went this past monday and bought my girl an engagement ring and matching wedding band so when the day comes I'll have it as well. This will be both of our third go at it. I have no doubts about it this time, I know deep down she's the one. Finally!!!

 sorry, i don't think you look good wearing the earrings?
remember it easier to fix them, than to find them after they been crushed.

 lol yeah me either. I should sell them but it just 1 more present for her.

Thanks to everyone. I cant wait to give it to her. I rarely get to suprise her, she always finds out before I can. This time I know she will be suprised.
