This may not be what you want to hear but here goes.
Are you really sure you want to pay a bunch of interest on go fast parts making them much more expensive in the long run as well as keeping you in dept for a longer period of time? If it were me. I'd pay down the loan with that money to get yourself out of debt sooner.
My wife and I made some sacrifices early on in our marriage and we made extra payments and many times double payments on the house. That allowed us to pay off the 30 year mortgage in 15 years. Because of that we were able to sell that house when we left Washington state and pay cash for the one we are in now in Arizona. I can't tell you how good it feels to be totally dept free.
As I said earlier, it took some sacrifice. We didn't get everything we wanted and we didn't drive new cars for a lot of years but it has been so worth it.

I almost got that one, but the one from diode dynamics doesn't come with the fog light switch plus you have to tap into the low beam wires.

The oem kit came with this.

I was sitting with a multi millionaire at dinner tonight and as we talked over our martinis he said that no matter how successful you are there is no better feeling than waking up knowing you don't owe anyone a damn dime! He went without for many years building a brand as a jewler and now at 35 does not owe a dime of money to anyone owning 6 cars and 3 houses. His business does not make all that much money but with budgeting and planing he has become very well off on a salary most doctors and lawyers would laugh at.

Seriously this, get your ass out of debt ASAP. I paid off every credit card and then we decided to landscape our back yard (year old house, was all mud/dirt back there). Even though we love our new back yard and spend lots of time in it now, it still sickens me that I'm back into my credit cards after all that work.

So tonight was fun but frustrating. Found out Monster Stage 2 Clutches do not like back to back passes or being slipped but I did accomplish one goal before the clutch got to hot.

1.966 60ft on Street Tires
12.09 @ 121.3xmph was the best and it was right before the clutch said no more.

Seems LS7 clutches do this then once cool they are fine. I am hoping this clutch is the same way we shall see. But she drove home just fine. Still not my 11.9 run but oh so close.

Your friend is exactly right. Think about what your money stream would look like without a house/rent payment, car payment, credit card, or any other form of debt payment. Work toward that goal and you will never regret it, believe me. It didn't happen overnight but it does feel wonderful.

Believe it or not, 90% of the lawyers I've seen don't make that much money. Maybe they are not good lawyers idk. I see attorney's credit info quite often and you would be supposed on what most of them make

If any of the Tucson guys would like to join us, Jack, myself and Martian86 will be working on vehicles at my place today. Were doing lowering springs on Martin86's FR-S, Back Pads on Jack's Bike and I am going to be doing some general maintenance on the Vette and FR-S as well as finding a spot to check on the Vette's Clutch.

Does anyone know how to get this crap off? It was the dealer sticker, I peeled it off, used some rubbing alcohol to get the sticky off, waxed it. Now I'm left with a "shade" of where the sticker was.

Sweet, I only have extra strength, that's probably too much for the paint. I'll pick some up. Thanks!
