Impulse Buying - What Have You Bought?

[prince_skyline]

So i got a puncture on the rear left tyre, and went to get it fixed.....

Walked out with new wheels and tyres. The car rides much nicer on 19's and finally looks better. some G-Max Defiant's in Hyper Black sitting on 245/35/19's

Did some spirited driving today down on the Peninsula and can highly recommend the Pirelli Zero Nero tyres too....

Need to get some coilovers now to drop it a bit....

So what has anyone else bought on impulse??????

[pyro-ns]

I don't think i've ever bought anything of substance on impulse... yes, i'm boring

[Cheddar]

^ yes you have. You bought those gtr seats that I was going to buy but they didn't match my interior and you said "I might buy them cos my interior is blue"

If we were talking non car related stuff I could fill pages on all the impulse buying I've done . But in terms of cars, I can't think of anything big I've bought on impulse except maybe my new wheels. I was going to the shop just to "check them out" but ended up buying them. I don't think that counts as an impulse buy though because deep down I expected myself to buy them, I just kept that thought to myself lol.

Other than that there's been stuff I've wanted and then happened to come across somewhere and bought it on the spot without really giving much thought to whether or not I really needed it or could afford it.

Bought a second hand DLS D1000 monoblock amp on impulse whilst out with Kidafa because it was great value. That lead to me buying a 13w7, not quite on impulse, but I certainly didn't think I was going to buy it the week before

[pipster11]

a mate once talked me into buying a cadence 1500wrms monoblock

it was a bargin, only $800 lol instead of $1500

what a stupid idea that was lol

Didn't really buy much on impulse for car related stuff as most of the parts are pretty expensive.

But I bought a bunch of smaller crap (most of them I found out I didn't have much/any use for...) on impulse.

Also I almost placed an order for the new Asus G73 gaming laptop (~$2.5k) on impulse but managed to convince myself to hold it for another month or so as otherwise I won't have $ for my car's service thats due soon.

Bought a series 1 dayz pearl white stagea at auction in Japan and was going to build that

Within a week bought another series 2 which was a better buy and that is the car I have today. That was a impulse buy

Managed to keep the second stagea a secret for 2-3 months from the missus
