Thumbs up What goodies are you getting with your TAX Returns?!

Instead of doing the most responsible thing, I've decided to splurge and buy some goodies for my build. I can't decide what to get just yet but I decided to see what everyone else was purchasing with their tax returns as well!! Right now i'm torn between Coilovers and Some new Rotor Housings...

What about you!!?

I'll probably just pay off my credit card, and save the rest in case it takes me a little while to get another room-mate to split the rent ($2,500/mo) when I get home from deployment.

Same, maybe set some aside for a vacation for the wife and I, pay some bills ahead of time and then use some for some bushing and FMIC and various things that I need to fix on the 7

I definitely don't take enough out. I don't like giving the gov't an interest free loan.

True! I don't understand why people do this. Especially if you have debt to pay off.

I'd like to get a checkup, a tune and hopefully a mint pair of Spirit R seats .

Problem is that people don't pay their debt off with the extra money. But who am I to talk...I own an FD which screams debt.

Better to use the extra money than more credit cards right?

What kind of wheels are you looking for?
Will you be selling your current setup?

I already ordered myself a set of coilovers.

I really wanna get new wheels but i dont think my body/paint is worthy enough to get the wheels i want.

So maybe just the coilovers and a roll bar.

Then just bank the remainder of the money.

apexi exv N1 coilovers.

I was looking at a couple of different wheels actually.

CCW classics, XD-9, Work Meister S1 (same exact finish/size/offset as rx7rage).

All of which are too good for my car and take a bit of time to get so i figure i would put wheels off and do important stuff first. Coilovers was top priority. I have neglected it for way to long now so i finally decided to just buy it.

I probably wont be able to install it til late march anyway because of all this crazy weather we been getting. But at least i bought them.
