You can pre-order on tire rack. Early March ship date.didnt think you could order those yet..
im going for MGW!! once the flat stick comes out
right because the interest on the loan is a deduction and that offset and lowered your total income for the year because you used your income to pay interest. which means you got taxed on less income so you got the 1k back based off your final income. You already gave the government that 1k to begin with... you're only getting back what you already gave. you're just getting it back because you had less income from any and all deductions. that isn't magical extra 1k that uncle same has graced you with out of his pocket. same thing with any loan or mortgage.I'm getting 1k back all from student loan interest, so no I'm not doing it wrong haha
so can I take out a $10000 loan from you at zero interest so i can buy my whipple then and give you the money back in jan 2018? if you're down for that I am. that goes for anyone!There should be a disclaimer on every tax return thread that no one cares that you set up your taxes perfectly and not giving the government a tax free loan.
I understand that this isn't money that came from no where. I get that. But it is much easier to just pay my student loans every month and input the interest paid at the end. There are a bunch of different loans rolled into one payment with all different interest rates. I'm sure a tax guy could figure it out pretty quick how much I could adjust taken out of my paycheck each period so it equals 0 but I don't mind that much. Haha why are we discussing this, let's talk about car parts!!right because the interest on the loan is a deduction and that offset and lowered your total income for the year because you used your income to pay interest. which means you got taxed on less income so you got the 1k back based off your final income.

The vast majority of people aren't getting 10K returns. Yes, in an ideal world, you should come pretty close to $0 for a tax return, +/- a little, but taxes are messy and everyone's situation is different. Most people's tax returns aren't large enough to see a worthwhile return of investment anyway.so can I take out a $10000 loan from you at zero interest so i can buy my whipple then and give you the money back in jan 2018? if you're down for that I am. that goes for anyone!
Agreed. Not to mention, for most people we're probably only talking a difference of between $15-$30 a paycheck here. What am I going to do with $15-$30 every two weeks, go piss it away eating out that many times more? Yeah, I get I'm giving uncle sam diddles an interest free loan and that money adds up to millions when you take me, and then multiply it by damn near everyone else in the country too. But, it's also nice to know I'm getting back a nice little chunk of change every season. There's usually something that comes up to spend it on, or it's nice to take what would have equated to me maybe just taking that small extra amount and pissing it away on more fastfood and instead treating myself to a larger indulgence instead.It's just that anytime someone mentions tax returns, you get the smug responses of you shouldn't give the government interest free loans... It's old and cliche...
Agreed. Can't wait for mine!better than having to pay at the end of the year.. plus most people would just waste that extra money through the year.. this at least forces them to save a lump sum..
:cheers: what he said!Tax return??? :lol:
What's that??? :lol::lol::lol:
The CAI and throttle body don't do "much"...mostly throttle response. The tune is the biggie.This thread started off super helpful now it's turned into tax advice/arguments :frusty:. Please just give suggestions on parts! That was the whole point of this thread
I don't want to save the money. I already save a big chunk from every paycheck for retirement and I have an emergency fund. I have that itch to buy something for my car haha
So I've dwindled it down to these options for myself:
-Track pack suspension/steeda/BMR parts
-Throttle body/CAI/tune
What would the recommendations be on throttle body, CAI and tune combo besides the PP2?
I went suspension first and I'm glad I did. I had to do an emergency lane change with the base GT suspension and it felt so floaty and disconnected. Right then I decided that suspension was the first priority.This thread started off super helpful now it's turned into tax advice/arguments :frusty:. Please just give suggestions on parts!
