save up another 700 and get the tvs. Then save up some more money and but the supporting mods for it, then put it all on and enjoy 300+hp and 300+tq.

Next, go vette/cobra hunting.

Regardless of what you buy, spend it now! I got $2,000 for my high school graduation from my sister and was hit by an uninsured driver a month later and had to spend it on auto repairs.

Uh, so you're saying spend it before it's to late? What would happen if you didn't have that $2000 when you were hit?

Brake kit, or suspension. One wise person once said... what's the point of speed if you can't turn it or stop it?

Save it... trust me.

Put it in a CD at your bank... like a 1 month renewing CD. Nothing too long. Start making some money on that ****.

For grad (pending my exam results) my parents might possibly buy me an '06 SS/NA after which I'll progressively pay them back for about 50% of the cost. I'm so stoked.
