if you have a grand and really want to spend it on the car, look into maintanence. If the car is running well with no problems, then suspension and wheels.

Stocks are real cheap now. Even Toyota stock is down. Y ou didn't say if your car has been maintained or not, so the the best bang for your buck is get a major tune up to get the best mpg out of her.

Dropped the whole thing on a game of Black Jack! If not, spoil yourself with some hookers. You only live once.

I'm pretty sure the car has been babied enough. It only has around 68k on it and I bought it from an old couple. I wouldn't think they would abuse it at all, but who knows. I haven't done anything to any car for quite a while now, so this would be a nice change. As for going to the casino and doubling up, I can't yet. I don't turn 21 till March. It's a shame since I live in Vegas.

or get some decent springs and get some nice looking used wheels...
