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.

lol, that does sound like a sign, they've left you no other choice but to buy them :)

m4a1mustang 02-02-2012 09:12 AM

It also sounds like a sign to adjust your withholding. :icon17:

happytheman 02-02-2012 09:16 AM

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

Interest free loan to the government ftl!

You could just collect the difference in a savings account and earn .00001%. :tup::icon17:

Them's words to live by!:bowrofl:

I do what i can to stimulate the economy.

SS66 02-02-2012 09:32 AM

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. :tiphat:

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."

Footloose301 02-02-2012 11:53 AM

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? :stirthepot:

Not really any need to know you. Huge tax refunds just mean you let the government use your cash for the entire year. For free. I guess if you are cool with that, that's all that matters. :tup:

Yah, I remember back in the day I was able to buy a full three piece set of lightweight BBS-type wheels for my BMW for $400 per wheel, and I thought it was outlandish! I'd be so lucky to get away with that today! :ugh2:

Just sayin maybe I had student loans, donated to every charity in the world, bought a house...im sure any of these reasons could have gotten me 2 grand. which imo isnt a big pile of cash. lol

not hating..but today i did get in touch with eric @ getyourwheels and ordered the avant garde 310s with 305s in the rear. boom!

Jeez. I am impressed! I filed within a week or getting my W-2 and have not heard hide nor hair.

You E-file?

What was the time from file to EFT?

I get scared doing that. I claimed S/0 for all but 3 checks last year and filed for less than $1K of MY money back. Went through my CPA, so I know it wasn't an oversight on my part.

There is no way you should ignore signs from God. Buy the wheels. Your life depends on it!!! LOL

Yes i E-filed on 28-Jan and the funds are being deposited 4-Feb so one week wait time.

You can track and see when your money will be deposted by going to:

https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/...fgetstatus.jsp

You have to enter social, status, and the exact amount your supposed to get.

I'm pretty stoaked about getting my return back. I spent a pile of money on my rental units and can claim a HUGE loss. ... After I think about it... I could purchased two top notch turbo systems for my car with the money spent :(

Econ 02-03-2012 10:33 AM

i loved my M310's.


Good luck

Mt Tam I am 02-03-2012 10:41 AM

I pay every April so I have not even begun to think about this topic. I also get K-1's and things that do not show up until March/April.
