Default Extra cash in the bank, what should I do to make car FAST

Next week is payday, after paying off all household bills, I'm left with $25.00. I would like to put that cold cash into my ride to make it faster. Only problem is, with all of the products on the aftermarket, I'm not sure where to begin.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry guys, I'm bored at work today

You could fill up your tank of gas and with the money thats left, buy some octane boost.

Get some Cool APC and RadioActive decals from the Ricer section at AutoZone. hahaha. Oh wait, some LED windshield spray nozzels are under $25. On a more serious note, just save up like most of us for some serious mods.

You guys are cracking me up. A good way to save your money though, is to actually take it out of the bank and put it in a hidden jar at home. If every day you put your spare change in there, and when you have a few bucks left over, put that on in too, next thing you know you've got over a hundred bucks in there. How do you think I got my SLP CAI ram air mod.

disconnect your exhaust from the cat back, remove your sway bar, delete AIR and EGR(may cost that $25), remove bumper supports, rear seats, spare tire and jack, remove your a/c system, remove power steering, ok thats silly but it will be faster, lol.
