I am in my sixties and my little brother just sent me a hundred bucks. Don't know yet what to do with it.

What can 100 dollars buy in America?
Two console games.
Eight or ten movie tickets.
10 months of Netflix.
Four or five new movies on DVD
Fifteen used DVDs at a yard sale.
Lunch for four at a fairly nice restaurant.
40 cheap burgers.
90 candy bars.
200 packages of ramen.
Two or three tanks of gas (petrol). (Enough to travel roughly 800 miles or 1,000 kilometers.)
Two or three oil changes.
Pillows, blankets, and sheets for a bed.
A card table and with four folding chairs.
A taxi from L.A.'s Botanical Gardens to Disneyland (excluding tip).
One poor quality car tire.
1/3rd of a ticket for a hot air balloon ride.
One night at a crappy motel, single occupancy.
A tent and sleeping bag.
A nice pair of new jeans.
Four new hats.
Two or three complete outfits at a thrift store.
Four or five cheap haircuts.
A mani-pedi. Probably. I don't really know.
Six tickets for laser tag.
One fairly nice paintball gun.
A cheap cell phone, MP3 player, or digital camera.
Five disposable cameras.
400 .22 cartridges (cheap bullets).
200 shotgun shells.
A really cheap gun from a pawn shop (if you can pass a background check, and after a waiting period).
150 cheap paper targets or clay pigeons to shoot.
A pair of cheap prescription glasses.
A pair of expensive sunglasses.
A trip to a day spa.
A cordless drill with battery, charger, and drill bit set.
A set of dishes, glasses, and silverware.
A cheap recliner (comfy chair).
A low-end smartphone.
Three months of cheap cell phone service.

And a partridge in a pear tree!!!****************
 
Buy $100 of Mexican R12 and sell 'em to Americans for $25 a can next time you come up. I just sold something so I was in the same boat. That night my kids X-Box 32" TV fell over and broke. Next I looked at the tots 32" Wii monitor and it was so burned in with "Wii menu" that I got him another. Both (used, almost new!) 42" and 32" only put me back $40 total! Stuff is cheap, just wait till after Christmas when everyone is selling their old stuff. I still need to get a crank balanced but it just seems hard to pull the trigger on as there is nothing to 'hold' after the money is handed over except a lighter by 26 grams crankshaft. But it has to be done sooner or later.

Yea, about $135 to fill up my 02 Cummins.

OP, maybe you can buy some ARP bolts to dress up your engine?

or some oil and a filter?

I dunno, my dad gave me a 100 bucks, I’m putting it in my jar to save up for buying this $2500 dollar old Cletrac. I’m almost there. Hopefully in January I’ll be able to go pick it up.
 
A top shelf bottle of whiskey. Share with some friends! (well you will have to add some to that hundred for a bottle of Whistlepig)

I would take the wife and I for a top shelf steak dinner and a couple of drinks.
