I was deciding on that.. I had a few things on my list...

all 4 new AS tires

Nav Head Unit

Or suspension parts since if the car is on the Stock struts it can't be good.

im still wondering if we are going to have to pay this 'rebate' back or not... in that case.. i wont be using the money at all. If we dont.. then I might buy a motorbike.. cause yeah, gas is getting damn expensive.

And you know the funny thing I have noticed while looking at all the auto sites most of the Manual and nice colors seem to start at the Midwestern states and move westward..

I did see a black 25th Anv. LGT sedan a few weeks ago had 80K on it and the guy wanted $8K for it.. had the clutch replaced and belts.

Diesel Mercedes :)

+1

But now diesel prices are going up @ the pump too! :shock: I used to have a 91 jetta coupe diesel. 510 miles on 1 full tank and in need of a tune up at the time.


I'm thinking new tires and undertail kit for my bike.

I'm getting a whopping $33.50 back this year, so I think I'll buy myself a pizza.

Mrs Huffer got her stimulus payment this week... she'll be going to get some new clothes and kicks...only spending half of the $600, so the rest will be going toward savings.

I will hopefully get mine very soon... at which point I believe the majority of it will go towards a UEL header, and some new struts+tophats.

And then the waggy will be dropped on it's King Springs.

I'm going to go to Japan and spend it there.









see...because that way their plan backfires.

Huffer

You're still spending money in the US to get to Japan though...

Want to "beat" their plan? Save every penny. Live on less than you make.

The USA used to be a national of savers, it had giant coffers full of emergency money... and then the '20s hit. And then the '30s. And then the war.

I don't know what my point was, just saying.

If you consider that the US owes overseas nations more than they owe it, prosperous, cool.

Oops, I shouldn't be peeing in a mod's Cheerios. Oh well. I am buying an American shotgun, and investing the rest, cut me a bit of slack.

Damn, you are ignorant.
The USA is projected to have 400million residents (legal) by 2040.
It currently has 300million.
1870=38,500,000
1920=106,000,000
1980=226,500,000
2000=281,421,000

I don't particularly care if you pee in a mod's cheerios or not, but if you're going to say something, make sure you can back it up. :roll:

:roll:I keep forgetting that sarcasm doesn't translate in print. My bad. I know that the wall they/we want to build in our southern border is not to keep us from leaving.

I am not ignorant. I rather resent the accusation.

My indirect point is that if it sucks so bad, why are so many immigrants, legal or no, still flowing in like the dyke is swiss cheese. Get it now?

At the same time we are accumulating national debt at an alarming rate. Many have been predicting that this debt will ruin the country. It's been said every 4 years for over a half century. I will agree that all the hens may come to roost as the brunt of the Boomers retire. And spending/debt increases. I imagine that was where your point would have headed, no? I'd be happy to discuss this further in PM's so as not to clutter this thread much further, unless this is actually helping someone.

We don't fundamentally disagree, I just like to pick at the corners of peoples opinions, sometimes I learn something.

I bought a Winchester Legacy 1894 in .45 Long Colt. I figure I'd get a Winchester because I've wanted one and they don't make them anymore.

I also picked up a Beretta.

I can't say I spent this with my economic stimulus money though. It hasn't shown up yet.

Cobb AP, xbox360. I've been spending money like it's water. Time to go into hermit mode.

Well damn I got an email about two weeks ago the Turbo Tax CEO telling customers who paid the federal from the return wont have the rebate Direct deposited in the account but a paper check mailed to them.

So I said screw it and went ahead and spent $1500 on new camera equipment and gear.

Huffer

$150 to savings
$60 to giving
$rest to toys
