    Default another "what would you buy" thread

    hi guys, im about to do my tax, and im expecting around about 4500. (fingers crossed)

    im highly considering buying a cheap 4wd. i like the idea of climbing stuff and playing in the mud.

    so if you had a spare amount of cash, what would ya buy?

    I know that I will be paying about an extra $800 @ tax time. Maybe I should start a "What can't you buy" thread.

    But, If I did have a spare $4500, I would buy new wheels, a new catback and use what's left on replacing as much suspension on my car as possible with HD stuff.

    Your idea about the 4wd crawler toy sounds awesome. Pick up a bullitproof FJ40 cruiser and go nuts!

    I've checked mine on the eTax thingy and allegly i'll get nearly $7,000 back.... not expecting sweet FA.. but if i did then i'd get a full on detail on the car (all swirls removed, all light scratches taken out, bonnet repsrayed, wheels refurbed etc..) hiflo cats, ceramic headers and a tune :-D

    that's in an ideal world... real world.... $7,000 goes towards IVF for a kid! ...

    I'm about one year away from finishing my mortgage, so I'll be banging anything I get onto that.

    Otherwise, I'd be updating my home theater!

    Or a GQ Patrol...

    hmm what would i do with the money from tax. (not much this year though)
    few options here. either:

    a. put into savings for a nice v8 (just before the p's are off eg. 454 camaro) and savings for a house
    b. buy tools. use tools to make money. rinse and repeat

    or do both =P
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that
