what to get for my birthday
 

so my birthday is coming up... and i have no idea what to get, i have a lot of things that i want, so i figure ill ask all you other enthusiasts for your oppinion.

(keep in mind i have a 2001 Xtreme, its the white one under "drew's 01 x" in the photogal)

here are my choices:
speed grille
white face gagues
hypertech programmer
FIPK K&N air intake
Jensen cd/dvd headunit
fiberglass rear roll pan (www.eastcoastcustoms.com to see what it looks like)
Airbag suspension
window tinting

or get a second car (preferrably a classic to restore) so that i can drive one while working on the other for more "extreme" modifications where i wouldn't be able to drive one

input is greatly appreciated:D

What's your budget?

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

good question... and i guess that would be a good thing to know huh?

well i know my mom's giving me 200, and then an average of 75 from relatives and friends, and then my dad.. anywhere from 150 to 300 i guess? so a total of almost 600... plus i've got about 600 saved up.. so i think 1200 is the very MAX

but for anything really expensive (i.e. airbag suspension) i would wait till after xmas.. cause that's another 400 or so in my pocket too

When is your b-day? Mine was the 14th, and all I got was a free coffee from Dunkin Donuts, and some afternoon nookie... It's only fair that you should not get anything more than that..;)

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

hahha, it's today, the 15th! i guess i get stuff cause im still a kid? or not anymore at least.. I'M 18!

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Jeesh... I'm old enough to be your Daddy

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I remember how excited I was to turn 18...2 years ago :D

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

hahah.. i get the feeling i might be the youngest memeber of this forum?

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

And I got the feeling I'm the oldest[&o]

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

You and I may be competing on that point Drkmelvin...I'm suprised I'm still alive. You couldn't PAY me to be 20 again (especially in the 80's)
Does any of that stuff ever go on sale?? I already know the answer to that question...

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

18 was good but cant wait till Feb to be 21.
Id save the money and go with air ride after christmas.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Talusgirl, I'm going shopping for headstones later this week...You want to come along?

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

ya'll are too funny.

lol.

so airbags huh? that sounds good, thanks.
any other opinions out there?

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Yeah I'd wait till after Christmas and go with bags, that ****'s so fun, lol. I was playin with my buddy's S10 yesterday, I was hitting switches ridin thru the mall parking lot. Fine ass girls will break their necks looking when you air that bitch out, lol.

dorkmelvin and Phallusgirl would probably tell you to put one of them fancy record players in it, but the young people are voting for bags :D

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Yea, deff wait for the bags. I was htting switchs in my buddys s10 and 'LoLos10blazer' is right its fun as hell!!

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Or... you can fund the official BlazerForum.com picnic :)

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

bag it! youve already got the rims for it. its been like 2 years since i dragged my sonoma:( i really miss it.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

well, i suppose bags it is! by a landslide. now... how do i go about doin it? and how much is it gonna cost...

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I'm thinking maybe a fancy DEE-LUXE 8-track player with a few John Denver tapes. You could crank it and the hunnies will come a runnin' !!

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

tha'd be pimp, talus! enry, go to www.suicidedoors.com they have everything you need and the best prices.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I think you should go with a holder for a walker...with the tennis balls on the feet

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

They make those??? Now I know what I want for MY birthday....

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

It's the little things that count...:)

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

thanks zero, i dont know what kinda setup i wanna do though.. i want it durable and manageable.. yet still in a decent price range.. i've looked their stuff over but i don't know what all i would need to get or would'nt need...

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

give them a call and let them know what you want your going to do with the truck. they should be able to put together a package for you.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

will do, thanks.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I believe i'm the youngest, at 17, and i'm not turning 18 till july. Although i am young, i bought my blazer myself, with my own hard earned money. thats more than about 90% of the kids at my school can say about themselves. I think i have the right to hold my head up.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

ah i got ya beat, at 16 im a year younger, i payed for 3/4 of my blazer, 1995, i think if kids get brand new cars its crazy and they dont take care of them

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

i respect both of ya'll.

I however, did not pay for my car.. i do pay for everything i do to it though, if that counts for anything. but i got this car only 2 years old, basically brand new, and i keep the best care of it more than anyone i know of... i guess it just depends on the kids and where they're coming from huh?

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

That's great you guys. It's nice to see teenagers these days that don't get everything handed to them on a silver platter. You guys will grow up with values to respect, I am sure.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

my first car was a 79 trans am that i bought myself when i was 13. it definatly is hard work to make that kind of money at that age. props to guys for earning your rides! i remember at my highschool, everyone was given new cars that they just took for granted. i didnt mind so much the people that actually took care of them and knew what they got, but the snobby bitches who thought they were better tahn every one else, i couldn't stand. i held my head up high for knowin i actually worked for my car.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

yea im 16 also and even though my dad bought me my car i do have to pay for insurance, gas and anything extra i want to do to it...im the same way though i hate people that get really nice brand new cars and tehn treat them like **** my trucks always clean and i baby it like crazy....

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

get 3 15 inch kicker l7's... with 3000 wats,,

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

In reply to Canadian88. Im also 17, payed for my blazer with my own cash. Including my $750 repair lol. But yea, i totaly agree with you, i hate the kids at school with like 05 mustangs that daddy bought them. And they never take care of their cars and usually wind up wrecking them. They dont care if they wreck em b/c there parents go and pay the even higher insurance rates along with buying them a new car.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I'm With You All I'm 19 And Bought My Blazer When I Tured 18.... Those Spolied Kids Don't Kno Jack When It Comes To Saving Money And Deff. When It Comes To Work Cause They Kno Mommy And Daddy Will Give Them Money.... But I Like It When Mom And Dad Stop Giving Them Money And Then Complain And Cry About Not Having Money Then I Tell Them To Join The Club And Stop [email protected]$*&ing.... O And You Guys Think Its Bad Now Wait Till College....LOL Thats When It Get Really Expensive When You Gotta Pay For It All Yourself I'm An Exapmle.... I Can't Do Jack To My Blazer Cause Of School :(

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

I have bought all of my vehicles with my own cash. I bought my Chevelle when I was 14 and had it mainly rebuilt and ready to rock by my 16th birthday! My Bonneville is the first car that I have ever had to get a loan for, but at the interest rate I've got, it wasn't too bad to get a loan anyhow.

I agree about the spoiled brats that are out there now. I love wiping the floor with those numb nuts in their riced out honda civics with my Bonneville. Before my Chevelle got put away, those retards knew better that to mess with it. They seem to think that because my Bonnie has 4 doors that they can mess with me.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

Really? Is that the best you can do? They're expensive and I'd rather go with other speakers for that price.
Get a Brahma: http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~aco.../adire_brahma/

Vid of 4 15" Brahmas and I believe 8 MTX 1501Ds: http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/2...akingDoors.wmv

Oh, here's his website, just saw this: http://www.scottiejohnsonfanclub.com/video.htm

But I'd say get a 2nd vehicle and window tint for Blazer.

What kind of vehicle you thinking of? A running one, because I'm not sure about that budget. I'd get a piece with no rust. Start out with a rolling chassis all fixed up and frame painted, work on the engine and everything, then go about body work, then interior. Good investment if you can work on it. Or get a Festiva or something. An Aspire you can swap in the Mazda B18 or something. Go hill jumping or whatever.

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

How about keyless Lambo doors. I mean on all four doors. That would be outrageous!

RE: what to get for my birthday
 

And outrageously expensive. What, $2800+? Go buy a Lamborghini. Lambo doors are neat, but not worth it compared to what you could spend for that amount of money. How about a supercharger and nitrous?
