Gov't Stimulus Package
Hello everyone,
As I'm sure a majority of us here will be receiving their share of the governments stimulus package check of $1200 per couple and $300 per additional child....
I'm seriously debating whether to take a trip here in the US of A (where I believe the money should go) or buy accessories for the truck but need the wife's permission.
I certainly hope that those that need it the most receive it.
Drive Safe,
Dan

1200 plus 300 for my son = 10 tanks of gas, some for the quads and a gallon of ice cream.
at least some if the money stays in the US
Just purchased 3 quads, most of that money went overseas

I got the 15mpg thing. At what speed do you get that?
This weekend towing a small trailer I got almost 13mpg at an average 82mph. That is also by hand using $3.29 gas...about 60 gallons of it!!!
My wrangler gets about 2 more mpg in town.

Well, as 2007 was my first full year as a home owner..I..oh yeah...and my wife....are looking forward to not only a nice refund but also the stimulus check.
Where will mine be spent? Well, I am waiting on the final numbers from the builder for my garage addition...so you can imagine where I am spending my shekels.
I did our existing garage last Spring after the rest of the house projects were done. We agreed that it was simply not going to work...and that if we bought this house a garage addition was part of the deal.
Here's the existing before I got my cabinets, etc in.

Thanks guys!
Nick...the Ex has to sit outside. It's longer than the garage is deep..it just won;t fit in there, and that's one of the reasons for the garage addition.
tykateexcursion...no real track time. Bought new in 2000, shows 9500 miles now. It's pretty much a fair weather friend.
I'll post "done" pics as soon as I can.
