the "whats the best thing you have ever bought" thread

[Snake556]

That's a good question. Awesome thread idea! Probably either my iPod or my 360. Keep me entertained when I'm bored :P Other than that... Hmm... I'm not sure!

EDIT: My Blackberry. This thing is amazing lol

For me so far, my tool box. Couldn't work an make money without it!

Snap-On Flank Plus metric wrench set. I get about a third of the rounded off nuts/bolts that I used to :P

[GTR-guy]

My iPod touch. It's the most clever and useful thing I ever bought!

my house

hands down with out a shred of doubt buying my house was the best thing i have ever bought. granted im still paying it off, but since purchasing it 5yrs ago at a price of $137k and a bc assessment value of $165k the value has gone up to $225k, 2 yrs into owning it i remortgaged to pay off my DD car, my wifey's DD car, buy a new fridge, stove, freezer and a new laptop for the wifey, as well as get my other wifey my 1990GTR32, the remortgage pricetag was about $160k, now 3.5yrs later i only owe about $125k on it... in 2 yrs i plan on remortgaging so i can do some seriously needed renovations, after they are done i will owe about $170k(depending on rates) and the value of my house will be over $350k... i have lots of friends who all specialise in one way(elec, plumin,drywal etc) or another who work for good food and drink...

once its all where i want the house to be i may sell and move to a bigger house, we dont have any kids yet or any on the way but if we did we would need room... the house we would upgrade to would have to have a full 2bdr basement suite... i got roommates who i would never wanna put out, and besides its a great way to help pay for the mortgage

My Vette. Tons of fun in the summer. She's got a tank of an engine.

The turbo AWD DSM hasn't been too bad so far. Very good in the snow, great winter car.

iPhone 3G. Should've waited for the 3GS, but it's the Swiss Army knife of electronics. Don't know how I managed before without it.

Also can't go a day without my watch (Seiko Le Grand Sport Retrograde day/date/24H). I feel naked without a watch on my wrist. Can't wait to sell it and get an Omega Speedmaster Automatic though.

My GTR of course. But other than that I love my Dog Rocko. Wouldn't trade him for the world!

[NickMy]

[NismoS-tune]

MY house 5 years ago. Still paying for it though 390k to go...

[Supraclean]

Hands down my gtst,

Changed my life for the better:

Drop 40 pounds - easy weight reduction right?
-Learned a shitload and still learning
-By far the best hobbies I have had yet
-Seriously made me buy a house just so I had a safe place to work on it and park. (Sorry gf you were not the reason)
-friends and fellow skyline friends I might not have met otherwise.

Second best item I have bought is the garage heater, what's this alberta winter people are talking about? Hehe Nismos-tune knows what I mean.

Plus the blackberry to view gtrc mobile of coarse.

My Dewalt 14.4 cordless drill. I can't believe how long I've owned it (bought it when 14.4 first came out), what I've used it for, and the fact that I haven't broken it yet. I break pretty much every tool I own, so that's saying something.

Oh, and the two battery packs I have still hold a charge.

My House. Already up $75K in value in 2 years which is more than enough to finance an R34.
