    Lately I've been wanting to pick up an old RWD corolla to mess around with. So that's what I would spend it on.

    Breast implants. For my wife, not because she wants them but because I'm such a good husband. :rolleyes:

    On a serious note. I'd finish paying off credit cards and put some towards the down payment on our house.

    Give $5000 to me and I'll tell you in a few weeks. :D

    Seriously though, IDK. I would love to so a lift, wheels, tires and a tonneau, but have more important things right now. Bills and what not. Haven't had a vacation in like 4 years. Also might consider a refi on the house, just depends on how the numbers come out.

    Really good question.

    I was just going through this myself.

    About $10k next summer and I want a trail rig.

    Nothing super, just something to beat up and not worry about cosmetics etc. Maybe old FJ or heep or a old toyota pickup with SFA :)


    If I have enough after that I will pay off the bike and the rest of my wifes car. Then use those monthly payments towards my truck

    I'd have to vote supercharger, since it would probably cost twice that for quality set of boobs.

    Couldn't answer yes to any of these. Each brings it's own new set of problems. If I "had" to spend $5K on something vehicle related I would purchase a larger 2 axle utility trailer.
