    Aye.

    Drives about in a 2003 Vectra 1.8 cursing at people who can afford a nice car.

    Probably has a top spec gaming PC to compensate for the rest of his shortcomings and to impress his cyber friends when hes sitting in his bedroom online.

    The i5 is easier to o/c, which is why I chose an i5 over an i7 years ago.
    Running 2.3Ghz i5 @ 4.3Ghz. Its rare I ever miss the i7 hyper-threading and my GPU does all the hard work in gaming.

    Makes me laugh when people get rif od a car after they have spent quite a bit on it.

    Look at it this way - the new car you're buying may (or will) need all this doing to it in the future, so why not stick with what you know?
    I agree to some extent, but don't you think that sometimes you get to a point with a car that you're constantly paying out on it.
    Otherwise why would you ever get rid of a car?
