    That is just crazy, way too much, good call on the no go, well , it was kind of obvious lol, that trans better of hold 1000hp for 4K.

    That is almost worth doing it yourself, 5 times, compared to what they were going to charge.

    Hey, good score on the neighbor, that is badass he's willing to help you out.

    good luck and let us know how it holds up,

    $4120!!! HOLY CRAP. Unless you get a free flight to Las Vegas and a few high priced escorts there is a problem.
