For Christmas this year, the parents are giving us 100 bucks and forbidding us to spend it on school or anything else boring. For me, its probably going to go to either wheels or tires. Lets hear your ideas!

Edited for 914drivers response: "us" refers to myself and my brothers, 100 each. The "us" that he is referring to is already taken care of.

Forget the wheels, do something for us. Dinner, dance lessons, night in a kinky hotel; it's an US gift. What does she want?

You're new at this aren't you?

If they are giving each of us $100, I'd just like mine in cash please.

EDIT: I didn't rear the OP's edit until after I posted this.

If it were me, right now, I'd use the $100 for new coolant hoses for the 2002.

Wouldn't that be "towards wheel or tire", singular for either?

$100 worth of re-sealing the leaky front and rear glass in the Ranger, or maybe a couple cans of Herculiner for the bed.

Well, if I put it towards wheels or tires, there is a good chance dad might just go the whole way with it. He wants them more than I do.

NO JOKE! I did it, it is a great deal. I am going to do it again when mine runs out. Sorry GRM, you have me for at least 20 years.

Can't do that one until the grandparents stop buying me Christmas gifts. I have to stick with the one year so I always know what to tell them to get me.

100.00? In this crowd that's equivalent to an RX7 shell and a rebuildable 5.0 Ford.

I hear there's going to be a big toilet paper shortage soon. Maybe you should buy yourself $100 worth of toilet paper.

OR $100 worth of Costco's store-brand vodka. Rumor has it it's made by the Grey Goose people! All I know is that it's damn good with cranberries!

You're not too far from a basic homebrewing kit with that $100, and then you'll have infinite beer :).

The biggest impact that $100 will make on a car is all-new poly bushings.

I would buy some scotch and a cigar. make sure to treat it as a gift vs putting it towards paying off a credit card or bills.
