I know this is not what it was meant for, but I am saving it for college. I just paid off the last bit of my debt the other day, so I am free and clear, finally. And aside from tinting my windows, I have no mod plans for the Passat, so might as well save it.

my fiancee and i make settlement on our new house this Wednesday April 30. Since I will receive this in a week or two, I think its safe to say 100% that this will be going toward house things. lol

Yeah but I'm not putting it towards my Credit Cards, It's a Loan...So while it is still ONE thing I bought with the money and not Multiple things It's a catch 22...See If I put this towards my Loan and pay that off quicker I'll have more money to spend each month which means I'll eventually be buying more **** for the Talon...Either way they get what they want.

doug · 04-28-2008, 01:42 PM

pfft.. 600 is chump change, a slap in the face.. gimme 2 grand, that'll help :P

EvlEgl · 04-28-2008, 01:44 PM

I agree, but 300 to 600 for all of the people in america is Alot extra for Retailers...hence why they call it a "Stimulus"

driftingrx5.7 · 04-28-2008, 01:58 PM

i am putting it in my savings for now just because i know my wife and i are going to go away this summer so 1200 is going to be good to take with us :D

zerioustt · 04-28-2008, 02:03 PM

I don't qualify...

EvlEgl · 04-28-2008, 02:04 PM

Ok Mr. Baller!

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2008, 02:09 PM

Ill put it in the bank towards my next car, dont remember how much we are supposed to get though..this should be interesting. I wont be surprised if people use the money to fill their cars up.

Doesnt it work that if you increase consumption and demand, in turn the price goes up?? Isnt that going to be counterproductive?

~Brian~ · 04-28-2008, 02:10 PM

Bump!

EvlEgl · 04-28-2008, 02:12 PM

^^^ Bigeest waste of a Post ever.

Yes Clean, Thats what they say, If people realized that if we stopped using gas it would Hurt the Oil companies and in turn they would have to lower prices...There seeing Record numbers right now as far as profit goes.

I know my Gas Wawa alone is up over prior year by like 10 percent just in Gas sales alone...And the prices are up like 30 to 40 cents than what they were last year.

I hope you dont mean my post was a waste lol.

Youre right, there is even a "no gas buying day" thing where people dont buy gas to put a hurt on the industry. Its hard to get people to stop using gas though, even a little bit because a lot of people arent willing to give up their cars, and in the extreme, their giant SUVs that they dont even need.

EvlEgl · 04-28-2008, 02:21 PM

No, Snowboy's for saying "BUMP" there was not point...and One day of not buying gas wont do **** because look at it this way, if you need gas on the No gas buying day but you don't buy it the next day your gonna need it more so than before so yeah they wont make as much money for that one day but the day after companies would probably make more because people who needed gas and didn't buy it will now buy it anyway.

It's a vicious cycle and the only way to make an impact as a country would be to Boycott it ALL TOGETHER for like months on end.

~Brian~ · 04-28-2008, 02:23 PM

Bump...

lol, okay, I'm done now.

rodder · 04-28-2008, 02:26 PM

Haha

If I wear a long enough coat it will.

Actually, PA is an "open carry" state, which means anyone legally allowed to own a firearm can carry it openly in public anywhere in the state with a few exceptions, such as in a city of the first class (Philly's our only one).

I've always wondered if that meant I could walk into Walmart with a AR slung over my shoulder or if it only applied to handguns.
