Southeast Performance for the 1.7's. And just so you know, April 15th is 6 months away! And I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, that I'd rather not be reminded of it this freakin" early! LOL

i do my taxes as soon as i get them. which is in january or february. i usually have it to spend by the end of february. thats why im asking for opinions. my other option is to save all my plowing cash and take my tax returns and get another honda prelude. which is what i owned before i got my dodge. i miss that car more than anything, but it had to go because i got too many tickets. 225 days without a license isnt fun at all.

Save the plowing cash to replace the hub bearings and ball joints on that 1500.
