Economic Stimulus Check = MORE MODS
You guys need to start figuring out what mods you want to make to your car using this check that is on the way (for those that qualify).
Take a look at the article!

OT, but when my check arrives, it’ll go toward that E55 the Mrs. needs.
That’s bound to jumpstart the economy.
Oh snap, the money in that check was mine to begin with anyway!

I will get a few bux- but my plan is is to invest in some stocks i have been watching lately. my mods are more or less done, not by choice, but because i have purchased most bolt on parts for my car, as well as a few others.

Nice to get totally hosed, isn't it? How do you feel about funding that schmuck buying a dozen cupcakes with his food stamp debit card?

actually, it's your AGI of 75 + 12, so 87. Make more than that and you get zero. Make more than 75 (up to 87) and you get less than a $600 check.

Keep in mind this is a REBATE check, not a REFUND. It is essentially an advance on your tax return for next year. The government, in their infinite wisdom, is giving you money in 2008 that they will take back in 2009.
The reason they are giving money to the cupcake eating foodstamp population is because they will spend the money at Walmart buying mods like spinning hubcaps. On the other hand, the MB driving population is more likely to go online and buy Bosch parts from a European company (or buy stocks).
