Yesterday, I was with my friends Parc and Reo. We dropped by a car audio shop and took a look around. I needed a wooden spacer to install my new speakers, so I asked them if they had any. Junior, the owner, asked me to come back the following day so that he could make some to my specifications.
Today, I decided to save some gas and bike going to Junior's shop, which is roughly 15kms away from my place. When I got there, the spacers were done and they looked perfect. Junior was still out to lunch, so I whiled away some time looking at his wares. By the time I was on my way home an hour later, my backpack was around 8 lbs heavier, my wallet was a LOT lighter, and I was happy. I ended up shopping for all the necessary wires and fittings to "future-proof" my car audio system. 8 meters of Ryan Audio gauge 4 wires, 12 meters of Audiomax gauge 16 speaker wires, Stinger RCA cables, a Ryan Audio distribution fuse block, and two pieces of half inch wooden spacers. My initial Php300 purchase of wooden spacers turned into a shopping spree worth a little more (ok, ok, a LOT more). At least I saved a little money by riding my bike instead of driving my car there. Hahaha!
That got me thinking... how did it happen? I wasn't sales-talked into it. I don't really NEED to have these expensive items to get my audio system working. But I made the purchase anyway. Go figure! Maybe I was thinking that I would eventually upgrade anyway, so I did it right the first time. Maybe that's just me trying to justify the purchase. But whatever! I'm smiling! :D
