POLL: What should I do?
This summer I am working (already got the job in the bag) and will thus acquire a substantial sum (at least $300 a week for 7 weeks) so the questions are: fix up Bronco; i.e. custom bumper and roll bar, buy a bad/ decent muscle car, paint chipping and peeling hood on Bronco, or a lift for Bronco? I have ran the options over and over in my head. I don't know what I will end up doing. Thanks, WB

Well thats a tough one. Guess alot of it depends on where your at, how much you use your bronco, and do you have room for another car?
It's hard to beat tearing up the highway in an old mustang or other muscle car. But if your limited to driving it 6 months out of the year due to weather (that is if you like to keep it clean and salt free). If the bronco's your main ride I'd look at fixing the paint and a big bumper

I already have a CD player, but it's getting up there on age as far as CD players go. It's been w/ me since my first car in 2001. I COULD save my money but then what's the point of working if I don't use what I worked for. I am definitely not one who just blows their money. Thanks so far guys. -wb

broncobillybob, i have the same engine as you in an f-250, i was wondering how you liked the K&N FIPK?
im thinking about picking one up if they really make better power. as far as your dilema, pick up a foxbody and go waste some ricers!

jj292, so....... I don't need no stinking savings. 
I'll regret that later probably. lol. I'm only 19 so I've got some time to save before retirement. And I figure I should fix up my truck while I can before kids, taxes, and a wife, etc come into my life. Besides, with all the repair money put into the Bronco I guess i might as well keep fixin' her up. -wb
p.s. fordmarshall111, the FIPK is great, gas mileage and throttle reponse improved. Just make sure to check everyonce in awhile because the screws holding can come loose; thus breaking the vacuum on the engine. Enjoy.

Invest it or dont. Its up to you. I wish I had. If I had invested even the amount your talking, I would have been able to do your whole list in just a few years, or have a nuce down payment for your own house. Appreciation is always better than depreciation.
