Spending your tax return:

[AWD Terror]

Will you be spending your tax return on your DSM this year? Or do you even get a return...? :dunno:

[TgOsMx]

Mine has already been spent on my gsx:D

[dyablo]

Looking to rebuild tranny:D

[shott17]

I am definatly going to buy a new bumper cover and have it painted this year cause at the end of last year i railed a fox the day before i put it up for winter and crushed my plate and ripped cover apart.

[AluH20]

Heh, I'm STRICTLY using this money for a new PC that I badly need (one of those cogan fairs no name brands- they're great, cheap, and upgradeable!).


BUT- the rest of my $$$ is all DSM- as in my up and coming paychecks.

And as of today... I only owe about $50 on my credit card!!! :happy:

[UnderPressureDSM]

Timing belt change :(

[Iceman21]

you missed one choice, BILLS

That is where all of my return went, with exception of 25.00 for some tune up stuff

[TurboDropTop]

I Don't DO TAXES BWAHAHA. I work during summers but it was for a local golf course, $7/hr under the table ownz.

[ALLTRBO]

All $1034 already spent on my Talon. :)

[neonduck]

WHAT?!?! He LOVES me.... owed $6K

UNCLE SAM ---> :takethat: <-- ME

[colonelfox]

I bought the T04E with my return. Mmmmm boooooost.

[need4speedTSI]

i know for a fact that there are black holes... i own one :D . Damn talon is suckin up all my time and money... i personaly havent done my taxes yet but should get a nice juicy return...

[flubyux2]

maybe ill get that new fandangled MAF translaters from Mike...the rest of it will probably get spent on my supra. it needs a new HG. Then i can install my 3" DP, get my 7 foot piece of 3" exhaust installed, and buy a K&N intake for it off Ebay, and have fun w/ 300 RWHP.

[Funkdariaa]

I voted keeping the money, but techinically I allready spent it (well, not techinically, I did). Me and some friends went down to Panama City Beach for spring break so that's where all of my tax return went. :cool:

[khendriksma1]

Well, I had originally voted that I was spending some of it on my car but that has unfortunately changed now. I just found out this past Monday that I crankwalked my motor :( so I guess it is time for a built 6-bolt swap :D. That will take care of all $2700 plus some. What is even worse is that will bring the total I have spent on the car in the last 6 months to over $6000.

[spooln]

damn synchro is goin out
time to fix BETSY

[kutschca]

i didn't see an option there for spending more than my return on the talon...but the purchase was prompted by the return....just put the rest on those damn credit cards

[venom42]

Its actually going toward credit cards, but I just dumped like $1200 on my card for my DSM, so I guess that qualifies.

Notice your from westerville, I live in columbus on the westside, although I'm going to school at ONU in ada right now. Good to see someone else in the dsm community in centeral ohio. If you haven't allready, check out www.columbusdsm.com and/or www.columbusracing.com hopefully I'll see you over on one of thoes boards. :)

[kutschca]

I'm actually at school in Oxford right now, but I've checked out columbusdsm before, and it's a good site. Unfortunately I have not posted there. There are just too many damn boards to keep track of these days. I'll have to get on top of that though.

[tekky_98_TSi]

hrm... there wasnt an option for people that were getting money and not spending on DSM but spending it :P

Mine went to vacation and stuff for me and the wife on vacation :P

[Misundaztood]

My IT this year as only like $300 so I just spent it on a car payment. :(

[jp171]

Uh, I don't do taxes.

I make $6.25/hr and don't work much... I made less than the minimum deduction.

[AllGripNoSlip]

[Batman]

[boosted92dsm]

[mikey001015]

most of my extra money goes into modding my car, I think that is why I have been able to work a part time job and go to school full time and mod my car as much as I have. I just enjoy it.

[dmoto92]

Already spent! :P Between home ownership and being a car nut there ain't nothin' ever left!:D

[Kouryou]

If I did do taxes I'd spent 1/2 of it on the Laser and then rest on a good lawyer...

[foxgst]

Most of mine goes to the DSM.

[dsm_roller]

and possibly refreshing the stock paintjob some and get some dings taken care of.

[DSM_Fo_Life]

When I do my taxes next year it will all go to paying off my TL. Then maybe I'll have money for my 2G.

[ezekiel888]

Its not really taxes. but i got like 2 grand in finacial aid, and i spent all that shit on my car. Actually, only because thats the money i bought my car with.

[GSXspeeddemon]

um i dont really do taxes, im a student, but i don get a refund check for about 5k. However i owe that money, borrowed 3k from my mother to buy the new gsx and about 2.5k in CC.

[1gcrazy]

Thats why i bought the car i have with....tax money.

[dpetro64]

[blazebolt]

Last year I owed. This year my refund is going to my turbo setup, dsmlink, fuel upgrades, and intercooler + piping :D

[16gSpyderGS-T]

[newdsmman]

I spent my daughters college savings on my DSM so now I need to save the tax return... lol! Kind of like she gave me a loan, she is oly 6 months old.

[newdsmman]

BTW I have spent over 10K cash money on the DSM this year, our tax return is about 4K... it is working out well. The wife dosent total up the money spend on the DSM... HAHA!

[4g63h22a]

[BigBoostDSM]

Just got my return direct deposited, $517 bucks.

Going gun shopping this week :D

[95mitsugsx]

going towards the ever growing pile of money it takes to get a 4g63 rebuilt with the right stuff along with all the fuel upgrades and turbo upgrade! I keep saying one more month and i'll have enough then i end up buying more shit because that dsm devil in my head says " might as well do all this stuff at the same time"

[curtisimo]

some went to bills, some went to computer parts, a lil will go for dsm

[16gSpyderGS-T]

Originally wanted to get a 46" DLP TV, but plans changed. Now im gettin a FMIC. Cant wait...

[socalmodelboy]

im looking into getting a new rear diff. since i blew mine in my 91' tsi but i was also thinking bout just welding the diff and spending it on other goodies.....

[PSIinthaTSI]

All of it went to build a 6 bolt because of my blown balance shaft.

[PSIinthaTSI]

Theres no minimum deduction in my state I dont think But I spent all mine on a new 6 bolt and parts to match

[Junkyarddog]

I always break even, why does the IRS need to hold my money? That is a 0% interest savings account!

[98GS]

I used it to finish paying of the gsx!

[kqodprez]

I would have spent my money on my dsm but....I owed the city like 3400 in parking tickets (dated back to 1999). Chicago sucks at times..

[GDNF2ET]

I work for myself so I owe every year..Wasn't too bad this year, a LiL over 2000....

[foxgst]

Tax return?? That was spent before I even got it :eek:

[cs82685]

Being spent on the cars but not for anything fun. (all of it went to car insurance)

[dsm_obsession]

i have to balance it all out with my bills and the DSM and hope its gets running

[Seanaynay25]

My next car payment...sigh.

[1gnasty]

im going to use some of it to get my gt4082 set up compleate

[DSMGates]

Haha I only got $200 back, Im just going to spend it on beer, and some skezzy ass hoes lol.

[topguntsi]

Transmissions on these cars are a big expense, if you drive them hard its not long before you are sticking a significant amount of money in drivetrain alone. My tax return is now gone.

[AWD_DSM]

Mine is going to my fuel system. External pump, AN lines and fittings, FPR, etc.

[ApexImprt2nR]

Yup, all to the DSM. Supporting mods for the turbo. :D

[fiveSFE]

lol i got 40 bucks back, its going towards my transmission fund for my new talon

[TSi_Tuner07]

Whatever I get back, if anything, is gonna go straight to my car.

[gotboostsi]

A third of it will probably be spent on bills, another third will be money on the side for a shep rebuild or new tranny, and the rest of it will be towards the dsm and getting drunk:burnout: . I should get around 1500 back or so. If the dsm is still doing good, i may sell my daily driver for around 800 bucks and get that extra cash.

[swade]

[wr450fyamaha]

[empie1]

Im investing it....im finally done blowing all my cash on my 13 year old car!

[Rotian]

Link, injectors and cams. That should eat my taxes. Oh and pizza :banana:

[halucinator]

I will probably pay off most of my car loans or combine them into 1. Whatever is left I'm saving up to buy a house. :D

[Waldos-R-us]

Dsm link ftmfw!!! That and a labtop to run it on

[jordan080303]

Hopefully put towards a new paintjob.

[Ryno2Fifty]

Fuel System!!:banana:

[92Blue]

Buying a SAFC, Brake Master Cylinder, paint to re do my wheels and all performance fluids for my dsm. I might have some left over for beer, pizza, and a pack of smokes for when I put everything together..hehehehe

[jc_is_the_man]

I'm hoping to pick up/"rescue" a 1g that has been sitting in a lot that was originally an auto garage but they lost their lease and moved to a new location about a mile or 2 down the road. That little diamond has just been sitting there undisturbed for over a year waiting for me to come and take her away. Seriously if it wasn't for stupid school bills I'd be touching her right now. I just wanted to wait till I had a decent amount of cash in hand to offer.

[_Adrian_]

AWD conversion, Big turbo and FMIC :D

[jreese86]

Not only am I getting a decent return this year (/thanks Hope Credit) but I'm also having my taxes from last year redone. My parents tried claiming me last year, but they ended up not being able to ebcause I wasn't enroleld full time in classes. I already had my taxes done so I didn't claim myself, plus I didn't put the hope credit on there. So now I'm redoing them and claiming myself + the hope credit which = lots more money from last eyar, plus a bunch from this year!

Short list of stuff for the Laser:
Wideband O2
Keydiver Chip (already have 780's sitting on my desk)
Valve cover gaskets

Possible Stuff:
New front bumper clip
Possible respray of entire car

Non-car stuff:
New computer, mines old as hell
Bit of money set aside to get a HDTV down the line.

Oh, and of course, some hookers and blow.

[Ghost Rider]

Damn... I hate this time of year.. lol All of mine is going towards the rebuild... :( But look on the good side of having no money... My car will be back in action before spring break. :)

[DSM Loki]

New rods and a crank... Maybe I'll get more that 2000 miles out of this set of h-beams...

[DirtyDsmer]

Bought a DSMlink, A trans temp gauge, oil temp gauge, Center vent pod, a monster Tranny cooler, and a Eprom.... Yeah I didn't have one ... Friggin Dsm>>>>>>>>:D

[BigBoostDSM]

I'm gettin 1075 back :cool:

Another pistol and finishing the AR is more than likely what's going to happen. That or a 10/22, a ton of ammo, and finishing the AR.

[jazzybeats]

^What is the AR?

[turbo4g63t]

^Probably an AR 15 assault rifle. Its a big boy gun!!!

[omgGSX]

Bought my turboback exhaust.

[gdmbat85]

Bought a DSMlink, A trans temp gauge, oil temp gauge, Center vent pod, a monster Tranny cooler, and a Eprom.... Yeah I didn't have one ... Friggin Dsm>>>>>>>>:D

Holy hell, how much did they give you back? I'm expecting about 8 dollars back. No, I'm not joking. I made like 250$ for the year. That's how used to being broke I am yet somehow I did all my major mods this past year. Go figure.

[BigBoostDSM]

^Probably an AR 15 assault rifle. Its a big boy gun!!!

Yup. Buying the lower, parts kit, and stock this week. I'll buy the upper parts with the tax return. In true DSM fashion, I'm building the whole thing myself to save some money and to get it EXACTLY how I want it :cool:

Rest of the money will go to a 10/22 and probably a few small mods to that (stock, trigger group, extended mag release, scope, bipod, maybe barrell, etc).

Now that I don't have a DSM to waste my money on I picked up another expensive hobby :D

[BigBoostDSM]

No option for weapons :P

I'm buying my first hand gun with it now that I'm 21.

Just like last year :D

I wondered why I had already posted in here...

[welfle18]

I am torn between a stage 3 head with BC cams, or massive new fuel system with dsmlink. I am not sure what route to go too.

[Jk's97DSM]

Paying off the whip and then having some fun. I am thinking paying off my motor from Overbore and throwing that in.

[TsiLuver]

Willing be spending part on a shell this year.

[giganews35]

I'm going to buy DSM Link with my text return...Yea I know its not much of a return but hey oh well.

[corsair231]

[shroomz]

The tax man is slowing the progress on my car :tat: --->tax man!

[T_K]

Once again I owe the govt about 2 grand in taxes... oh well.

[DirtyDsmer]

Holy hell, how much did they give you back? I'm expecting about 8 dollars back. No, I'm not joking. I made like 250$ for the year. That's how used to being broke I am yet somehow I did all my major mods this past year. Go figure.



Holy Hell!! That sucks, yeah i'm gettin back $1550....

What kind of tires are we talkin about???:)

[eclipse8999]

I just purchased some Nexen's. They weren't expensive at all. I am on a limited budget due to still being in school and having only a part time job.

Well... There's nothin wrong with being a "Baller on a Budget.":D

[Zeppelin]

I need to pay off my credit card. :(

[Sheriff]

I already got my taxes done and bought my first DSM with the money.

[shaunp]

Hopefully I will be purchasing some weisco pistons and crower rods.

[code]

Pay off my credit card bill from all the parts I put on it throughout the year. It'll never get paid off!

[Theo]

I'm sad to say that I owe the IRS $864.00 this year. (OOPS!)

[cjackson2802]

[shadow102]

[ferriolom]

Pay off some debt and use the rest for the Stealth.

[Revdoc]

I can't wait for my return. About 1/4 of it is going to go towards either a front mount or a full exhaust. The rest I will probably blow 1/4 of it on stuff like video games or booze, and put about 1/2 of it towards some debt I owe.
