I'm sure he is responsible and already planning for his future. $1000 in a retirement fund isn't going to net you very much in the grand scale of things anyway.

It will make you more happy now to spend it on your S than when you're 75 spending it on adult diapers. Every time someone asks what to do with money, 75% of the responses are to save it, invest it, etc.. funny when people here spend 10k on mods all the time

What is sad is that for 1k you can't buy a whole lot for the S2K, but I would suggest a nice sounding exhaust. *cough* HKS *cough*

Really...

Obviously you've never used one properly, and even more obviously you've never seen a V1 in action... It does not make you invincible, but close. IF YOU USE IT PROPERLY. It's a warning system, which tells you which way the threat is coming from, at which time you can slow down and survey the situation.

Last night, I'm driving home at around 9:00... I am on a long dark road leading to my neighborhood... My V1 started beeping, arrow pointed forward, it starts getting stronger, I slow down from 55-60 to 45, about 10 seconds later it goes off FULLY. The V1 warned me of the cop sitting in the DARK, about a mile before I got to him... Well outside of the radar gun's range...

If I didn't have my V1, I would be out $150+, not to mention the NUMEROUS times it has saved me in the past.

It's quite possibly the best $400 bucks I've ever spent. Period.

save up for 04 wheels and an OE front lip if you want to spend more than $1000. if you really wanna spend just 1000 then yea do gears for performance. For looks/presence get a front lip and exhaust.

+1 on that. I've been sitting on the same $1K in my walet for over 6 months now. I look and look- new, used...I almost bought an exhaust but didn't happen. Its kinda nice having that money and not spending it.
