Re: What is your single LARGEST purchased on your CC?

While I was on my parents Centurion (AU), I used it to buy a 2010 Ferrari California which came out to approximately $220,000, IIRC. Were my parent's mad? Just a little but my parents were okay with it and let me have it for one year (I was 17 at the time enjoying my senior year and was in that whole "I can do anything and want anything attitude"). All/most of the kids at my school were driving bmw 3 series but when I rolled in the parking lot with my top down and my girl (at that time) in the passenger seat; everyone's mouth would just drop. It was soo funny at the time. But after I finished my senior year, I decided to sell the Ferrari to some wealthy old man in my neighborhood and used the money to buy a nice 2010 bmw 3 series to use for college.

Oh well if AU purchases count I'd have to count the $5.4 million dollar beach-front mansion I bought one day when I was 16. Mom was bugging me so I needed somewhere to get away; I figured, what the hey? I'll just charge this to their account and invite some friends over. 


Also bought a Mercedes SLR McLaren to complement the mansion, but that was just a paltry $500k. Chump change, really.

I'm not one (normally) to question someones post, but this dude posts here he put a Ferrari on an AmEx Centurion, really dude?? If you did indeed do that, my apologies, but I have to honestly say, I do NOT believe that for one second.

 

Now for my largest purchase $1749.78 for a set of (Black) Steeda Pentars and Nitto NT555's 285/40/18 (rear) and 255/45/18 (front) for my 2006 Torch Red Mustang GT on my BoA World MasterCard (BTW Steeda Pentars and the Nitto's are Wheels and Tires)

 

I made the purchase 8/12/11 and PIF Monday 8/29/11 (Due Date is the 1st) Didn't want the 1749 reporting LOL!!! Me likes to keep util low and only one CC reporting a small bal on reports. (See what you MyFicoers have done to me?? You've created a credit guru, I have become so diligent with my goals, keep low util (usually 1-4%) have only one CC report a bal etc etc etc......LOL)

 

This has nothing to do with credit (well it does a little, I used a CC to buy them (wheels/tires) but I wanted to show a pic. Bought the car bone stock 3/10, 28,000 miles and I've since put over 5000K in aftermarket performance mods, yeah I'm a car nut and it is ridiculously fast!!

Very nice! I had a '95 GT until I totaled it a few years ago. Loved that car. It was forest green with black metallic racing stripes, black Billitt wheels, blacked out tint and headlight/taillight covers, and  of course, dual Flowmaster's.

 

Driving an Explorer right now...FORD ALL DAY!

Maybe it is just me but I thought it was obvious the post about the Ferrari was tongue in cheek? Haha, was that suppose to be for real? Smiley Very Happy
