The Stimulus Package Thread

[pow3rslave]

haven't got mine yet, the girlfriend made me promise to use it to pay off my Credit card and said she'd be really, really angry if she found out i'd spent any on anything else...

...yeah i laughed too, it's going in the 5 litre fund.

My gf has her's... I'm still waiting on mine...

THough I've already spent 250 of mine on a new graphics card... but I had the money for that anyway.

Also on the shopping list is a present for the gf (Don't tell her )
New dress watch for me... one of those ones that doesn't have a battery and moving around winds(sp... wind seems wrong?) it up

And the rest will be blown at a converse store on shirts, a new messenger bag and shoes...

Now it's just the waiting game...

Tossing up whether i should trade my car in for a vtII clubby and use the rudd money on bits and pieces for it.. very tempting.

All I can say, as car enthusiasts it does open up a lot of possibilities for our hobbies and interests... I know to some it's only $900 but for some it's $900!

Just on the price it'll get you:
- Registration
- Insurance
- Cat back exhaust and extractors
- Repairs
- Wheels and tyres
- ICE components
- Suspension stuff
- Old project car
- Tinted Windows
- Some of the above with change left over!
- etc.

Of coarse for those with partners the budget is a touch less than $900, haha. Looking forward to seeing where some of you folks put your money in the My Ride section (if you choose to sink it in your car)

Mine's going towards the $1450 I owe my dad for converting my car to gas.

I think you mean a Kinetic Watch.
unless the technology has changed in the last 10 years, the watches are utter crap.
the theory is sound, however, the reality is very different.
this is something you really should look up and read some reviews about before you go splashing the money on one.

As for the $900 - havent got it yet and dont know what to spend it on.

Got mine yesterday, paid off some personal debt, saving some for new furniture, rest goes toward car service on Monday. I was originally going to use it for my tinted windows which I'm getting tomorrow (yay!) but I had saved up that myself. $900 is great, its helped, but in the scheme of things its not that much.

i think cheap ones might be crap, i got a hell expenso one (bought it cheaper tho) and it never misses a beat. doesn't lose time or run out of charge, only does that if i take it off and leave it off for a couple of days.

tag have a rad one that instead of a pendulum spinning in a full 360, has a piston that goes up and down. i went to the launch of it and it had a massive mock up, looked sick.
