well, coming from my liberal background

shouldnt we spend money to boost the economy rather then save it?

the more people put it in the bank
the less we're spending
more companys go down the toilet
meaning less jobs
meaning people are going to storm the banks trying to get their money OUT
and there's going to be none left.

if you have money
pay your bills
then buy yourself something special.

thats just how i see it. im about to spend all of my tax money ha

spend it on heroin.


just kidding. if you plan on staying n/a just get an intake and exhaust, lower it and call it a day. if you have the oem fogs get some hids for them. i just got some in 3000k and theyre 3x brighter than my hid low beams. of course i did aim them as high as possible.

i still say save it, if you have any debt (credit cards, payments on the car, loans) pay them back, and save whatever you can.

the economy is not going to get better anytime soon, and you never know, maybe you'll be laid off then what? you'll have all your parts, but no money to pay for gas, which btw is starting to go back up unfortunately

get some of dem 20 inch chrome wheels, or lambo doors, or maybe a carbon fiber wing that raises at LEAST 3 feet off the car. those would be straight up ballin.

but yeah, I think i'll be in the same boat as you, just not as much money coming back. it's going towards the rims and tires.

apt fogs, a used axle back exhaust, hids, tint, lowering springs, short shifter, intake, and a airspence squash air freshner . that should put u right at a grand.

i just bought fogs, vent visors, and shift boot, armrest cover, and e brake boot.

Yes, but only if you already have an adequate amount saved.

Most young people don't have much savings (at least enough to live on for 6 months with no income, including all usual expenses required for an acceptable existence), so it's often better to save it than buy parts for a car that works fine.

So, take care of yourself first, then worry about the economy.

2 jobs & 30 hours?

I have 1 job & work 55 hours a week, on top of going to school full time.

I won't lie, I have 0 savings & I'm about to dip into my credit card to spoil myself.
