Save it, trust me the real world has a lot of bump in it and you might need some extra cash to get by

Anytime you get a bunch of money, take 10% and blow it. Take the rest and save for rent/college/car repairs/girls/retirement.

/tech?

Everyone always says this ****....You're young, you dont have bills to pay, blow it on your car!...You already said you will be saving 500 of it. So take the 700 you have left and do a little research. First of all what car is it and what plans do you have for it? I would suggest to do the suspension up first. It will be a lot more fun to drive and it most likely won't cost as much as other plans.

Think of the percentage of people who own Honda's and drop thousands upon thousands of dollars, like body kits, exspensive seats, all sort of gauges, engine swaps and mods and don't do **** with it aside from f*cking up their car and wasting money on their DD that they are going to get rid of or wish they never did the things they did 2-5 years down the road. You are right, he most likely doesnt have bills to pay, but it would sure be nice to have a fat chunk of change in his saving account when he steps into the "real world" and learns the struggles of only having enough money to pay rent/food/bills and nothing else like going out or buying nice clothes etc. Be smart... dont let it burn a hole in your pocket and do some research. In the end, if you choose to blow it on the car at least you will have done some research and made a educated decision.

With $400, I would try to find a screaming deal on some sticky tires like Azenis, Kuhmo's, etc., then I would find used springs and new KYB AGX struts. You would right around $400 if you really played your cards right. Well, maybe $500.....
