Poll: Dreaming of next months tax returns
Since I haven't done much to my car in the last year, I'm dreaming of what I may do when I get my tax returns in January. What should I spend the money on?

Voted for put into savings.
I'm planning for a decent return so half will go toward savings, other half toward principle left on car loan. Or maybe most toward car loan since really hating car payments right now. |

You get your tax return in January? I've never gotten mine sooner than late February because most institutions take until the end of January to get me all my statements.

I didn't see the dildo up your ass on the polls. Joking aside, I'd say finish your BRZ in to a track monster. The next new shiny thing fades, and the never ending process starts.

I'm still paying off my car (about $18k left) so that's a good idea as well to put all the money into slowly paying it off.

I got a 72 month loan at 3.66% back in Aug of 2012. I skipped a few payments when the credit union gave those deals. My payment is less then $400, but then again I'm paying more interest over the life of the loan because of it. I'm considering switching to a 3yr at 1.69% which may save me $1k in interest over those 3 years.

I bought it barely used from a guy in Battle Ground with only a couple hundred miles on it because he was having health issues. Got it for MSRP $28,275 (loan for full amount). It was the only red manual Limited BRZ in the US, with none coming in for 4 months at least. I sold my previous car (VW R32) about a month prior because I thought I'd get one sooner as I reserved one at a dealer. The dealer didn't really know for sure when they were getting it though. They eventually got it about 6 months later. Good thing I found the used one randomly on ebay. It wasn't an auction ad, just a for sale ad, so it was just like dealing with a normal Craigslist for sale ad.

Next time you're down here or maybe when I'm up in Seattle from the 30th to Jan 1 or 2 perhaps you'd be willing for me to look at your car, more specifically the steering wheel that comes in the yellow FR-S. I've been thinking about buying that momo TRD wheel for some time now but would like to check it out in person before I spend $400 on one.
Also if there's any car group events going on in the Seattle area Dec 30-Jan1 or 2 let me know and I'll attend.

Spend the refund on a personal finance course. Also take an additional allowance or two on your w4.
I spent a long time driving mediocre cars so that now I can afford what I want.
