Default Stimulus Check going to the Car?

For those of you that are old enough to file your own taxes, what are your plans for your much anticipated free money? I'm hoping to do a few things to the car, but I have some pre-existing things I need to take care of first. Hopefully I'll have some left to put toward the T/A.

I am keeping aside $250 cash of the check just for FUN cruising gas money. No pouting for me when gas hits $4 a gallon this summer because I'll be driving on tankfuls of government supplied gas. This is 'found' money and it is all going to be used for FUN things. Although it is technically our own tax money being refunded to us I considered it long gone once it was sent to Uncle Sam.

For me stimulus check = BMR new tubular K member for turbo'd cars. Any left over will go for ARP head studs. I'll probably save most of my refund check though. I'd like to save it all, but this car is a freaking money pit lol.

You can stay away from here Iowa drivers cause so many issues with our traffic! They either drive too slow, or they run red lights/stop signs
