- Thread starter K5_Fla
- Start date

maybe 3g
11 pints of blood, 5 oz of flesh and my soul...
More then I'd want to talk about, that's for sure.

Im probably good for 15k and its still slow,two wheel drive, and 4 different colors
I have no, clue but if I had to guess I'd say over 100,000 over the last 12 years or so maybe more if you count all the horse trading and rigs I bought and sold to make money for my projects.
but its healthier than a Booze or Drug habit.

I have no idea, 
and pretty sure I don't wanna know! I have owned my K20 for 18+ years and have built/rebuilt everything several times.... I have $5500+ in the D60 alone!
