Invest it. You move through life faster than you think and having the funds at the other end makes a big difference with lifestyle options!

If theres something you want on the car badly get it, otherwise dont start modding like crazy or it'll never stop...save it, it's already an awesome car (warning this is coming from someone that starves to mod vette)

" No one is really looking for advice,they are looking for an accessory"
if you got a 18k bonus,why are you looking for advice on how to spend it on a public forum ? looks to me like if you get that type of money as a bonus, you would already know what to do with it !

What do you have on it so far? CAI, full exhaust, cam, heads? Cozmo posted some pics of a carbon fiber dash, looks damn nice.

No such thing as free money. You will someday want to buy a house, I also think you should have a little fun with mods, but bank/invest the rest. There will come a day when you will be very thankful you did it that way. You cannot "live for today" forever.

Oh, to be young again.......

Last but not least, thanks for your service to this great country of ours!!!
