Tax Refund-What are you doing with you money?
One advantage to being married with kids? Big returns (almost 7 grand). Disadvantage? None of it goes to the car! But, I will be paying off some bills, putting the rest in the bank for a kick *** vacation when I get back from Iraq for good, and buying a few new things for the kids (like new beds).
The good news is the bills I'm paying off cost me over 400 monthly, so that's more money in the long run to save up and play with for the car. Still haven't decided whether to sell my 99.5 and go newer, or upgrade the one I have now. Maybe I'll go newer and keep this one as my little project car. I've always wanted to do that.
BTW, the A4 I have now I bought with LAST YEAR'S tax return!

I totaled my car when I rear ended a minivan. I was only going twenty, but I didnt have a bumper on. I would contest the damage was under $1000, but the insurance company (despite lots of corrections from myself) insisted on thinking the bumper was vaporized on impact, and the existing REAR fender damage came from the accident.
So... after buying the car back i pocketed $2900! New wheels/tires, new exhaust, new headlights/HIDs, tint, and money in the bank. =D
