You can replace your wiper linkage bushings for under 5 bucks. Stops them from skipping and smacking the trim around the windshield.

Or if you have the pipe, 50 for "tobacco" is always nice.

Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute, you're forgetting 20 bucks for pizza/munchies...

Really though, I plan on doing a cooling system flush, that's under $50...

rattle caned everything but the doors so far with some camo light tan, installed 4 hella 500 fog lights i got for free for taking them off a buddies jeep the right way, spent $20 on 2 BFG 31x10.50 AT's with 50% tread on craigslist and installed at buddies shop for free, removable door mod free, pulled fender flares and trimmed about an inch of metal off then rewelded the two pieces back together in the back... used old jigsaw blade and already had welding wire, painted wheels black for $10, had a new single chamber muffler left over from my 70 impala i never used and welded that in the exhaust... think i paid like $30 for it, did the cable (used hood release cable from 98 chevy pickup) front axle lock conversion and got a speaker bar out of a 4 door cherokee... herculined it and got $15 speakers at a clearance warehouse and got a cup holder (junyard parts totalled $20) so not worried bout blown door speakers anymore when doors are on or off, and of course lots of routin maintenance for under $50...
