i have just had a savings account mature....and for some reason, there's quite a bit more in there than i thought.....all of a sudden i have 6 grand to throw around.....i was thinking that about 2-3 grand to put towards college/savings and spend the rest on the car....i wasn't sure what i should get first for upgrades on it tho...i thought some opinions from the good guys @ NICO would help me in the decision process.....the first mods i thought about were.....

1.) engine rebuild then turbo the KA24DE/VLSD/custom catback2.) new springs and struts, front and rear strut braces/good looking rims3.) new paint job....the current one looks real bad....and a NISMO body kit and a stereo system....the one right now is pulled from a junkyard 240....lol

Damn if I had that much money, i would pay off all my bills(credit card) then save the rest. I rather save it 4 a new car. well that's just what i would do.,

If i were doing those three steps it'd go 2 then 1 then 3 or skip 3 all together and have yourself a nice sleeper!

That 2-3 grand for school will be gone in one month, assuming you're not going to attend a votech or community college. Unless you have a rich parents thats going to pay ur whole tuition, save the whole bundle for college.

good god how did not notice a few thousand more in you account ?! lol. id go to a casino for a day of fun :). invest is stocks... haha. personally, id leave it in there longer, save for a rainy day. like for me right now... since my car was stolen, id use that money to buy another car.

for you, if you have any problems with your car, fix them :). if not, sound system, i dont think i could stand a car w/o music. its so horrible listening to the wind and the whiz of other cars.
