What to do with my $600 tax rebate?
Well....an axial flow short throw shifter, REVi cold air intake, and REVi ram air duct. Getting this all for about $550. With tax, shipping and handling, that should put me right around $600.

Can you think of something better for $600 for the 8? Wondering what others would do since I haven't fully gone through with my plans yet.

Short shifter is the best mod for this car.

Your original plan looks like a good start.

Take an economics class and learn you've paid the government a lot more than $600?

Maybe he already determined what he's getting but there is a tax rebate calculator for anyone interested in finding out what to expect:

Is it bad that I'd rather just get nothing than have to fill out tax forms? Even that web form made me kinda agitated.

I would set up a payment plan of a $100 month, lol. I don't know what would be worse: the credit card interest or the IRS interest...
