sooo just filed for my taxes and going to get about $700 bucks back and im not really to sure if i want it to go into my car or not and wanted to see what you guys thought. heres what i need.

-bad exhaust leak (would have to get new downpipe and cat)-new dash/steering wheel (thank you airbags)-new hood (mine has giant dent in front of it)-new rear bumper (not really a major concern, has some cracks under the clear coat and messed up where my exhaust went through it)

im drivin a '95 s14 with about 223,000 miles

is it worth it do you guys think? it still runs pretty strong.

and yes i am aware i wont be able to afford all of this most likely.

suggestions? comments?

also what you yall's plans with ur extra money some of you may have comin in soon.

I would've bought some S15 seats, but since I'm in Korea and my car's in WA, I'm going to put most of my money into my investment accounts. Economy's bad, it's not affecting me because I'm in the Army, but I'd like to get out one day and have something to show for.

I like how you have your priorities in order. HAHA

People, this car game should be a hobby! Only buy if you can... cars are the WORST investment by far, especially when you're modifying. My cousin thinks the same way... he's like a gazillion dollars in credit card debt, yet he's willing to go out on a limb for some new wheels haha. Fix your credit, get your money right first!!/.02
