              Nice work, Jay. That should buy a few mods. How many pounds of boost is that raise worth?

                      Nah... to be honest I'm happier with this car than I ever was with the T/A...

                      It might be worth a few extra PSI though

                        hmmm 6k raise

                        assuming there are 26 pay checks (every 2 weeks) ~ $230.77 gross before deductions... assuming worst case scenario 1/3 paycheck is sucked away by friviolous taxes, ins, retirement (~$76.85). That leaves $153.92 more than you made previously... being more anaylitical 230.77/80 hrs every 2 weeks That is an extra ~$2.88 per hour and again assume you only really take home 2/3 of that in real world... You get an extra $1.92 per hour

                        in short ... Go ahead and splurge on the Slurpee

                        May not seem much in the short term but if saved... it eventually adds up to a Wolfman-beating Vette

                        Man major congrats.. at the rate they give raises where I'm at... It will take nearly a decade to match you . Pat youself on the back you've earned it

                          Congrats Jay... I just got a 4k raise myself, but mine included a promotion.. by the time Uncle Sam got a hold of mine, it works out to about $45 dollars extra a week. To take the promotion I have to go into the office more. That's a 35 mile round trip 3 times a week, so after I pay for gas there's not much left.

                            Thanks!

                            I did some of that math myself - and got pretty similar numbers. The coolest thing is that it's about an extra $300 a month than what I was used to.

                            My car payment is about $350.

                            This is basically like getting a free car when you look at it that way
