I use a brokerage account for 6 month emergency savings, and long term cash savings in addition to investment planning. I use a bank savings account for short term saving items (like car parts, and home projects) and the only thing in checking is what needs to come out each month for bills and budgeted items (grocery, gas, etc).
I certainly don't agree with everything Dave Ramsey says but I heard him say one time, "Unless you constantly tell your money where to go, you'll always wonder where it went." That's some financial advice I totally agree with.
sorry for getting off topic. that's my bad.
Topic at hand... $2k to spend? I agree with the person earlier who said, keep saving and go forced induction. That's pretty much the only place I'd like to improve on the car but a lot of that is because at high altitude, where I live it really struggles to get enough air.
