Default Tax refund...spend it or save it

So what is everyone that is getting a tax refund plan on doing with the money? Spend it and help "stimulate" the economy or put it away for a rainy day?

I plan on doing my patriotic duty and spend it all. Maybe track tires and wheels or a new short block.

Typically mine always goes towards bills... This year it will go into my car... rims/tires... So I don't think that really counts as stimulating the economy since I would have to sink it into American made products, companies, etc...

And my refund if I qualify and get one in May... will go towards bills

Just bought TurboTax from Costco. I hope I owe under $2k last year. So my answer is to save more $$$.
