I would reinvest it. There is nothing better than counting a pile of cash. Have you ever noticed that whom ever is handing over cash usually has a snotty face and whom ever is receiving cash always has a cheeky grin on their face when counting it. People love counting cash. |

In the real world hard to get a return on 6k that's worth getting excited about so might as well have some fun with it.. I'd put it towards an enclosed trailer for my new toy.

Money is there to be spent. Spend it while you can before the new world order cashless society kicks in and abolishes cash altogether.

If I were spending on my current project it'd be a toss up between a raptor blower kit or a set of heads heads, cam, freshen up the bottom end, etc. Maybe even try one of those $1200 door shut paint jobs they're doing down here in Vic.

A sleeper XE sounds like fun. It would cost more than 6k, probably a good 10k but grandpa spec on the outside with a turbo AU motor setup under the bonnet.
