Default Economic stimulus

I'm trying to decide how to best stimulate the economy with my estimated $600.00 Prez Bush check. As you can see from my signature below, I've gotten about as much out of the motor that can be reasonabley expected without having any head or piston work done. I'd like to install Brembo front sqeezers and floating disks, but I don't think $600.00 will cover it. I'm looking for suggestions from the group.

Xtreme Hawg...I'm actually giving strong consideration to more and brighter (read LEDs) lights on the back-end of my RK. At least that's this moments thought.

Make a trip to the gun store and make a new purchase, either guns or ammo, before the election. ( just in case )

huskers11...I recently purchased a new leather jacket from Fox Creek. Best jacket I've ever owned. I still can't figure out how my HD Pan Head jacket shrank?? Heh, heh!

Any other thoughts?

Buy something Made in the USA. I suspect that the alleged stimulus will be felt by WalMart and China.
