****! I just got to thinking....

New truck- $21k
supercharger, custom built turbo, meth, 2 transmission builds, 3 clutches, 2 rear gears, posi, 3 driveshafts, 4 engines....

And that just scratches the surface. I'd say $40k in mods and broken parts. I did get about $10k out of stuff I took off and sold along the way when I changed up. So at least $30k out of pocket in mods and I do all my own work. So that is pretty much $30k in parts!

Well, it was fun.

Hey, I'm just starting with the truck. Don't even get me started on the lowrider. Getting close to doubling that what I've got into my house! And it still looks like crap!
