1) Nice vacation with u and the misses (one last good one before the family begins) Family and significant others first.
2) Rims/jeep (toss up to me b/c both are pretty hot) Although the jeep could wait for a little father-son/daughter bonding time and work on it together.
3)Supercharger
4) Body kit (only 4 b/c it's on the list, otherwise not even an option imo)
Yeah those AXIS are sick and not that much loot. As far as vacations. we have already been to Alsaks, and Africa...Hawaii is typical, but I have never been there or spent a significant amount of time on the West Coast. Thinking of renting a Porshe Boxster Convertible and cruising the coast line for a few weeks. Who knows. My wife is so laid back, she wouldnt care if it were Fiji (i already been there) or Kentuky to watch horse racing.

I hate to see my Stillen dream of 2 years die, but it may have to. I do have the 1977 Buick Pimp my ride car too...its not the best DD, but its a free and spacous backup if the G goes down. Plus remember guys and gals (thanks MidA Mamma for the comments) that I walk to work.

Its almost like I want to do one last impuse, stupid, typical guy purchase before I need to grow up. These emotions are crazy.

Be selfish, be giving, be crazy, be an adult, be a kid, fullfill you dream while you can...it changes by the freggin minute! GEEZE and just think, my wife is the one with the extra hormones....poor girl. lol.

Cory, lord knows you have enough fun with your G as is, you def drive that thing ***** out. I think those wheels would really set the car off, its less issues in the end vs. boost, and will make the car look like a million bucks! If I had a G, I'd toss on wheels, springs, and the oem front lip and be done, those cars are so classy.

Whats up with the jeep? Is it something you work on daily, a passion project of sorts - or is it just sitting around loosing value (sounds like it costs you money each month)?

I agree with everyone else, No Widebody.

Congrats bro!!!

I would prob do this..

1) vacation with the wife, once the little one comes along you will be pretty busy...
2) jeep since you plan on keeping it anyway, you might as well work on it in your spare time

3) rims

4) SC, even though I remember you talking about getting the stillen for quite some time now, I think you will be fine without it, especially because you like to rag on the G a bit

5) kit

That jeep is like a built motor TT set up gone bad. I bought for a dollar from my Mom. So I saved money there. The only catch was that I could NEVER sell it. I went to Iraq and made big bank. No rent, carpayment, wife, kids. So I went ***** to the walls out on the Jeep. It has a 383 in the sucker with a dodge ram dulley 6sp tranny that can tow like....a gazillion lbs. I have Corbeau Racing Seats with harness. new aluminum body, new soft top, Street Dominator intake most of the motor is chrome, custome wheels bla bla bla I am like 18K into this thing already minus storage for the last few years!

The issue is that huge tranny left no room for the transfer case and even less for a drive shaft. I cant even go knucke to knucke with a 1/2 inch drive shaft!!!! I need new custom welded motor mounts, 6inches forward and down 4 inches to create a decent angle for the drive shaft. Then a clutch and wiring harness. Everything else is new (chrome or polished) waiting to be installed. The G, Buick, and House goes, before the jeep goes. lol it will pull the front end up at 40mph when its done!

I guess its time for new shoes and a good custom Jeep shop. I have been waiting for a quote from Car Toyz for like 6 months so I guess they are out. Anyone else recommend a custom builder for something like this? If I had garage Id do it all myself, but underground parking only allows me weekend remove and replace time.

Cory, congradulations!

IMHO, I would definitely take a nice vacation with the misses before your life is filled with the joy of your child. Go somewhere different than the normal like Europe ie Spain, Greece, Italy or islands in the Mediterranean.

I have always loved those wheels and that would probably get my vote along with the vacation.

And I like the idea of keeping the jeep and working on it with the child.

Congrats on being a dad man! Get the rims and take a vacation. The rims will set off the G which is a sexy **** anyway. Also, because they are so damn big they may serve to slow you down a little bit, which as much as u hate to admit it, will be a must once u bring a little one into the picture. Also the vacation with the wife will be one of the things you long for once the baby arrives. I cant tell you how many of my freinds with kids cry about not having a vacation. So good luck with it all man!
