I didnt even get my check yet but i bought the 4 link for 9" rear. A 10 bolt rear , some patch panels from Reamer (thanks ron ) and a rear holder for the engine stand.. a hydraulic pump for my tools and a greenlee punch set.
So you can find me waiting at the mailbox these days.

Bills, nothing fun. My wife and I just bought a 5 acre piece of land that needs a driveway for starters so anything we get is going towards that. Hope to build a nice shop there someday. Wish I could have bought car parts though lol.

I think all US citizens will get something including those with only social security income. I was going to use it towards property taxes but we haven't received anything yet. Sadly, still had to pay the taxes though.

The payments are coming out in order of your income. The folks that have the lowest income are getting theirs first. Those that are on SS will get theirs direct deposited into their accounts like their SS monthly payments.

Later!

I saved the money for a rainy day, like the responsible adult i am.


By which i mean i bought heads that are way too big for a 302 and need fancy *** pistons for the 2.02 valves.

Also i bought every other little part i need to finish the build, should be here in a week.

Should be done well in advance of the hot rod run that was just cancelled that was half the reason i'm building the truck. Nice.

That would make sense but but son, who makes more money than I did when I retired in 2012, got his weeks ago. My sister and her husband got theirs April 25 and they are both on social security... But it was a checked sent snail mail!

We haven't gotten our yet but we'll just sign the back and give it back to pay our income taxes.

My son is a dairy farmer and is really hurting, someone, he doesn't know who sent they're to him to help him out. That was very nice.

We got ours quite a while ago.
We did find a hole in the plan. We claim our college son on our taxes, but he works as well. We didn't get a stimulus for him because he is too old.
But he doesn't get a stimulus check because we claim him. What a bummer. He was not happy.
