#1 down payment on a 00 Sterling Mist SE all options, 102K miles $10K
or
#2 downpayment on a 00 Black Infiniti I30t all options, 92K miles $10K
Either one, those will be treated with a new Y-pipe right away and I bought the valvebody from my crashed max

Rather than use credit, put money away each month (in a drawer, in an envelope, leave it in the bank and ignore it) and if you never gather enough money for your mod you're not financially ready or mature enough to buy it.
BTW, I have a mortgage and normal utilities, no other bills, so I practice what I preach.
And lastly if you're "getting back" more than about $300 then you wasted money. I want to slap people who think of a tax "refund" as "found money." How about calling it what it is... a tax free loan to the govt.

(245-40-18 ) & 18 x 9 rear( 265-40-18 ) and repaint my baby. Honestly I doubt I can buy all this with the tax return, probably only half of this.

I'm also 34 and agree with 2K2wannabe about saving your money, however I am still going to the Nudie Bar 
until I do this.. 
. I have my taxes figured out so that I only get between $100-$200 dollars back. Gotta have fun every now and again .

I am doing OT to buy my mods. It's my reward for doing the work. Plus anything from B-day's and Xmas is a plus.
