What mods are currently on your car, if any? Wheels, tires, suspension, engine mods?
Happy Birthday, by the way.

Pay down the principle on your loan if you financed it.
I blew an obscene amount of money on upgrading my old Integra before it was paid off, and with stuff breaking, or being worn out from autocrossing and road-course racing, it became a real money sink. The mods (full turbo/engine management, Tein suspension, LSD, fully built shortblock) were a ton of fun, but ultimately I was still upgrading a car that wasn't mine, and if anything had happened (repossession, accident, theft) I would have been out ALL the money from the mods, minus part of the principle for what a stock car was worth.
After I'd paid it off making slightly better than normal payments, I went back and figured the amount I'd spent in interest and it was several thousand dollars. Several thousand bucks I could have spent on even bigger mods, had I been patient.
If it's really burning a hole in your pocket, I'd split it up and use a healthy chunk to pay down the loan, and get small improvements (tires/bushings if you're into performance, some rims or springs or spoilers if you're into looks) that won't break the bank.
