ammcinnis Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Extra, $150 a week, have you heard of a 401K, or some other retirement saving account...? Or maybe just pay the loan on the vehicle down early.

spect2k Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 No such thing as "extra" money in my vocabulary. But if you really can't find a good use for it - quality tires, sway bar, tints, LED headlights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 2Fiver Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I had a thought, lets say I have an extra $150 every week to buy parts what are some of your suggestions as starting points I'd start and end with wheels on a 6thgen. I initially thought they looked too similar to the other makes of modern sedans. After seeing a few driving around, I think it's a good looking car with a real presence on the road. The front end actually looks aggressive, in a good way. You could run a matte paint and black out the front grill for a start, or even delete the chrome features around the windows to give a more "street" look. I think blacked grill and black/wider wheels would look really good on a red 6thgen. Forget about all of the intake and exhaust stuff on this platform, keep it quiet.

TruNoLies Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Extra, $150 a week, have you heard of a 401K, or some other retirement saving account...? Yes, I have my 401 and other investments which leave me with just that amount to use towards other things. Don't get me wrong I don't have or am not trying to piss away my money, I just see that I like doing things to my car and don't want to spend too much Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruNoLies Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Or maybe just pay the loan on the vehicle down early. I paid cash flat out, that's why I don't have larger lump sums of cash to use. I also paid my insurance off for the year so I'm basically starting over. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps clean up the look a lot IMO. http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww76/ticonderoga16/so%20clean_zpsijyn0nht.jpg I really want a dog!
