Mid Terms are over, whats everyone doing with incometax?

Finally, I am done all my mid terms(engineering), they were all brutal, and I probably failed 2/4, but that never stopped me from womping the exam last semester.

So anyway, whats everyone plan on doing with there Incometax when it comes in?

I am hoping that I can use the money to put my car back on the road in April, and maybe a tune-up and K&N filter. First maybe I will hire someone to dig her out of the 3 foot drift...lol.

Haha, do I get a keyboard that "clicks"? I love those.

Anyway; check out the next month issue of Hot Rod- a guy spritzes his Mustang with a new coat in his garage- should be interesting. I hope they go in detail as to how to mix paint with hardener, and what kind of tools we can get by with ($50 paint gun instead of $400 deVilbiss HVLP gravity feed gun) and etc.

hey tom, feel like doing some welding for me??

i'll need a pipe put onto my headers for my EGR and i'll also need bung-nuts (sounds funny ) for my O2 senors...........

lemme know if your are interested.............i can also pay$$


anyways......with the $500 i'll be getting back........either a new guitar (but considering i finally just finished building my Fender strat and rewired my ESP............dont really need a 6th one right away) or............i'm thinking about a custom intake manifold/ fuel injection system..........................ever see the EFI systems from edelbrock, etc...............kinda like a carb manifold with fuel injectors....................

i'm thinking about getting the edelbrock manifold for our carbed cars.............then somehow rigging the fuel rails and injectors on there and putting the MAP sensor in there somehow.....................then welding a intake box where the carb would go and running that to a throttle body.......then running a pipe to a ram air system.............................sounds really complex............but i think it has potential...............especially with seeing how restrictive our MPFI manifolds are..............................TomP, any comments?

sounds

Pay off the $2700 bill for the new carpet in my house
Pay off the $1200 bill for a root canal and crown
Pay off the $750 bill for the new windows in the house
Buy some new furniture
Fix my speedometer
Put something aside so I can at least fool myself into believing I might retire someday

Anyone know a good CPA? Looks like my refund will need to exceed my income by a factor of 8 or 10

My tax return will go into my interior, I need to buy my carpet, headliner kit, seat covers, int paint, and some plastic pieces. And if I have any left over money I need to buy a new windshield.

85SportCoupeto89RS, check out http://www.1aauto.com for the carpet. I bought mine from there for $120- and it came in a week! It's made by ACC, which is a GM authorized reproduction company, and at $120, it costs the same as the JC Whitney "crap" carpets (like Newark or Auto Interiors).

Go to ACC's website first, http://www.accmats.com , and find the proper color for your year of car. (I found out my carpet is "Dove Gray".) Then, go back to http://www.1aauto.com and order it. I actually called the store to place my order, just to make sure it went thru okay. (Plus I mentioned this website just to see if I'd get any discount; I didn't, but it was worth a shot! )

It really "revived" my interior... especially in the little areas, like the sides of the transmission hump, the corners between the seats and the door rails, etc. Install time took about 2 days, "slowly" working. I also got 2 cans of Scotchguard from Pep Boys, and used it to protect the carpet.

Now I just have to order the "real" floormats from them, and get rid of my $20 Pep Boys "damn I forgot to order floormats but don't want to drive without them on my new carpet" mats!
