Default Stimulus Check, Where's yours going?

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.

It is being used this week at G-Force on my '05 GTO.

What I should do is go to Vegas and play it all on one hand! That's the American Way!

Are we talking about the same thing? They were supposed to start going out today. Sounds like you are talking about your tax return.

I was thinking the same thing, I thought they were sent out today.
Anyways, the money will go towards the AC compressor....if trhe check came in the winter, new O2 sensors but its getting hot, and leather and summer heat are not a good combination. BTW, anyone know where i can get the compressor installed in DFW for cheap?
