Post how to spend graduation money??????

alright so iv got 1300 or so bucks burning a hole in my pocket and am itching to spend it, I just cant decide on what exactly to buy though. I went and checked out some rims today and found a sick set of 20's (not flashy at all very clean and match the curves of a 4runner) with bridgestone tires for 1500 including trading in my stock wheels and 275/70/16 at ko's. Im also thinking of a water injection kit and plamsa booster but am wondering if for that much money will it give me more power than the urd kit? Or I could have some parts of my car painted to match, get my stock rims done in gunmetal grey, get a real carbon kit for it, a plasma booster and a new sub box. hmm what to do

Put it in a savings account.

I just so happen to know someone who works for a credit union and could get you 10.47% on $1,000.


Just my $.02

Graduation from what? If high school, save it for college expenses. If college, apply toward a budget trip to Europe this Summer for a real education.

None of your choices are what I would do.

It's your money-spend half on beer and women and waste the other half

Clean 20's but you gotta remove the grill and tailight guards, more of a street look. Then you can sell the grill and tailight guards.

Performance or Lift is what I would spend it on...

20" on a 4Runner just makes me want to . Everytime I see it I always look at is with a :wtf: look at the driver.

sorry just my opion, leave the low profiles tires to the performance cars.

Travel. You can meet me and some friends over in London.
Or, do cool things here. Drugs, hookers, craps games, and porno.
the 20s are kind of wanna be blingin. Maybe if you could go bigger they would look better

Glenn, that's exactly what I was thinking. A strip club is a great place to do all of the above. And you'll even come home smelling like cheap perfume!

I have one. Now I feel special

If you really want a good way to spend it, give it to me! Seriously though, I'd save it in case something happens with the Runner.

GANJ!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm usually a sucker for blowing big checks but I'm going to be a hipocrite (sp.) and say SAVE IT for gas, college, etc. If you rush a fraternity in college, you'll have plenty of dues, suits, tuxes, beer, and trips to spend that cash on.

1. Fly to Reno ~$300
2. Call me so I can meet you at your casino of choice and watch the horror or the winnings.
3. Walk up to roulette table and put remaining $1,000 on either red or black.
4. If you win buy me a beer and fly home
5. If you lose hitchhike across the country and see the USA.

Either way you are either up $2,000 or you get to see the country for free.

Sounds like a killer plan to me!

You can never have too much money while in college. Things you will need that are not free: Kegs, condoms, weed, cigs, liquor, bail money, and to a lesser extent textbooks, pens, and paper.

i seriously have enough money to go through college 5 times, i have very very generous grandparents who used to own some very very large paper companies. I want to spend this money on my car seeing as how i dont have naything to else to use it for. i already have a job so that pays for all the stuff and my other hobbie bike racing is fully paid for by my sponsors.
and no offense iv said this many a times 20's on a 4runner arnt that bad i think lifting and 4wheeling a runner is worse seeing as how much damage is done on a day to day basis and i love my rig more than anything else on the face of the earth (except for girls gotta have your priorities straight)

Alan, how can you do that? You're not opening the HaveBlue Credit Union, are you?
