What are you buying with you're tax refund?

Its that time of the year again guys

What are you gonna buy?

I'm going to get some more parts and build another scaler/crawler.

Well other than my plan for scaler parts, I want to get stocked up on paints, and get 2 more airbrushs.

I plan on giving my mom $300.00 for all the help she's given me since my surgery.

$300.00 for my GF
And bank $500 to try to keep my bills cought up


Whats you're plans?

I got a T-Rex 500 already, gotta buy tires for the truck...

If the amount is good enough, I might have to go for a Baja 5B SS.

If that doesn't work out, probably a touring car to do some club racing and maybe some 1/10 gymkhana.

I used $800.00 of my rc (Ebay) funds to pay bills so I'm going to take it back and buy a Baja 5B SS.

The only thing that concerns me with myself buying a Baja is that I know I'll want to do aftermarket stuff to it.

And I don't know if I can afford that. LOL

Front brakes, dust covers, metal braces... It could get expensive in a hurry.

Oh well.

I don't think I'll have much left over. Plus it's going to be hell having to do taxes from abroad. My company has a "guy" who supposed to do it all for me, but he messed it up last year, and thats when I was living in the states, I wonder how much more he could possibly muck it up now that I've returned home. Or I wonder if I can avoid doing them altogether.

Depends on how much my wife lets me spend. We will probably pay down or pay off all the CC's first and if anything is left over possible a 3.3 Tmaxx and an Ofna DM-1

I prefer to keep my money so I won't be getting a tax return. I have my deductions setup to where I usually owe just a little bit.

If I'm lucky, maybe a trans or some tires for my scaler.

If not that, I might beef up my PC some more. Maybe a 1tb hard drive, another 4gb of ram, a second ATi 4870 512mb video card, or a second 160gb raptor drive

LOL I could make like 4 truck payments with it... but that's not as satisfying RIGHT NOW. LOL

Probably would be smart... but oh well.
