Default Car Gods Sent Me a Sign

So my federal tax return came back, and it turns out it is the EXACT amount as the Avant Garde M310s with tires shipped to my front doorstep.

It is exact down to the dollar, which blew my mind. Time to get in contact with Getyourwheels.

Just wanted to share.

It also sounds like a sign to adjust your withholding.

You can either adjust your withholding, or you can enjoy these moments once per year!

Funny some people do not realize you should never give the goverment an interest free loan. I would take a monthly savings over 12 months in my own account before I would give the Feds a free loan. At the end of the year go by whatever I need. But thats just me.

Thats what I said when my tax return ended up nearly matching the cost of an exhaust and HFC package. A friend then emailed me something similar to the following so I'm passing along the Good Word:

Z Carinthians 3:7 - 9 "And He said unto me, thou shalt purchase Avant Garde M310s with tires and thine eyes shall behold the glory of the Lord. And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats."

Haha. I have like the exact amount needed for a Stage 2 TT kit between the student loan and tax return. Now I don't want to spend it lmao. So far I've bought a Viper 5901 alarm system. My room mate loves his on his 370Z so I picked one up for $200. Now I'm looking at the Evo-R fog light but I can't justify $100+ on a light bulb.

Also, considering getting a used mint condition R6/R1/GSXR600-1000 and playing with the left over money and maybe get some TE37's for the car.

Can the car gods send you a sign to get a better set of wheels than Avant Garde's?

SSR or Volk maybe?
