Default Extra Cash!

I got an extra 4K unexpectedly. I'm torn what to do. First thought was a new set of wheels. Second thought was a bodykit. Third thought was coilovers. I could actully do both of these. Then I thought....the economy stinks right now. Save the money for a rainy day.

You know I want opinions, you know what we do around here. Speak up!

I like the body they way it is [GS450H], I love the wheels that came with the car, I don't know what coil overs are. I am a retired cop and my hobby is guns and shooting so I would spent it on guns and ammo.

The money was not expected or planned so I call it extra.

I went with save it. Money is tight for alot of people right now, even myself. I myself would love some wheels right now(thanks for input Henry). But the timing is not right. If the money is no object, I would go body kit also. Didn't you just get new wheels not to long ago?

Since it's really extra, just pretend it's not there and put it away.

SAVE THE $$$, FOR RAINING DAY!!!

4k, is good for our budget on food for 2~3 months.

You know what, if I count the Bush refund money and the stuff I have for sale in the classifieds, I really have 6K of unplanned money.
So far, the poll is leading overwhelminly toward saving the money. That wasn't really in my plan but it makes sense. If it continues that way, I ain't stupid, I'll listen.
