Tax Refunds and your Benz

Hi guys,

It's that time of year in the United States where people are doing their taxes, and hopefully getting a refund. I am curious if members are planning on doing specific mods with their payback from the government.

I am debating what to do, mostly depends what I can find around this board/ebay to save a few bucks here and there. Going to try and do at least 3 on my list.

Planned:
1. ECU (leaning towards eurocharged)
2. Front Lip Spoiler
3. H/R Springs
4. Quad Exhaust
5. 19s
6. intake


Anyone else have some modding plans with their Tax Refund and want to share?

One of the many unique things about Dubai, not paying taxes sounds marvelous!

True, but being that I work outside of Dubai 99% of the time and is some rather shady places they have adopted other systems here in the Middle East.

They have tried very hard to make Europeans and Westerners feel at home here and have taken our saying "paying taxes is killing me" to heart. So. Instead of paying taxes they have substituted it with roadside bombs, random shooting outbreaks, kidnappings, beheadings and hotel bombings.

I'm happy taking it all over paying taxes anyday

Seriously though, I can't think of a better place to have my family than Dubai - they love it and it is incredibly safe. Wonderful place.

What's a tax refund? I haven't had one of those in years. Uncle Sam never shows me any love. It never fails, the man is always on time to collect from me.

I'll stick with Chicago, and pay taxes.

To OP.

I plan on doing Quafie LSD and hopefully an X-pipe with high flows, if it will fit. Was told there is not much room for it.

Guess we will see.

I would start with the wheels first as it is possibly the biggest cosmetic mod that will "make or break" your car. Goes extremely well with #3 lol.

You're going to love the LSD pal, still one of my favorite mods.
