today's (jan 25) wall street journal has an article about people buying sub-$5000 cars and spending $3000 on new rims. many apparently finance their purchase or even go on rent-to-own financing plans. great quote at the end:

"People don't like to have their rims taken away," says Mr. Hernandez, a stout man wearing an outsized purple gem on his middle finger. "It's a pride thing. They're more likely to pay for their rims on time than cable or the telephone bill."

and before anyone flames me, no i'm not implying anyone here is like the people in the article. actually, after a few days of reading the posts, i have a healthy respect for the amount of knowledge and genuine expertise here.
