Re: How do you spend?

This would have been better as a multiple choice poll. I spend my money (very little, however) on performance, exterior, and offroad.

Although in truth I'd have to go with I spend all my money on gas or the fact that Chevy's are good enough stock, I'll have to go offroad, fucker already has enough power. I'll do lift kit and tires before I'll do engine mods, although you have to do both.

Re: How do you spend?

I voted exterior becuase the next big thing I plan on spending money on my truck is paint, and nothing special, just a normal paint job like that's on it, lol.

But for the record, I have the intake, exhaust, and TB spacer already, along with the clear lights, billet grille, bed cover, tint, ventshades, etc. already.

Also, I'd like to have some 2005 model 16-inch allum. wheels and some Edelbrock shorty headers.

But what money I've got to spend now will be goign to the car in my sig to the tune of new slicks (roughly $550) and just entry fees for racing ($40-$50 a weekend).
