Hey guys let's see how everybody wisely invests their tax free deployment dollars :)
I bought my WS6 while I was in Iraq and my trip to Afghanistan in the near future will pay for a whole new setup. I haven't worked out all the details yet but a forged 400+ci, with Afr heads, fast intake, custom cam, built t56, Moser 9 inch, and a new set of wheels.

Well if you're getting new wheels and you're even in the giving mood, you could send those to me and I'll put em to good use! LoL Nice buy! Why not go with an LS9? ;-)

Well I appreciate you offering to take care of them for me but I'm going to try and sell off all my goodies to offset the cost of my new project without breaking my bank completely cuz I also need to buy a daily driver. And I have a pretty good idea of what's going into it but I'm not gonna throw any info out til I'm certain :secret2:

I put my money in a Growth Stock Mutual Fund, and am earning intrest on the money like a wise person should do... Oh and the other half went to "small" "minor" upgrades.

yeah, alot of money and not so much time, I put less than 4k miles on the bike since owning it, everything else mileage is basically split on.... but all in all its a wide variety.... just whatever I feel like doing at the moment...

Then invested the rest and lost it all when I got divorced but the camaro. Still got the camaro and fuck cheaten ass women when their men are deployed and the bitch ass judges who award them everything knowing the circumstances of the issue. Let me see Mr. Your Honor on the street. LOL..... show his ass a good ol freedom ass whoppen!!!

My Busa was part of my signing bonus, but the ZX14 and CBR1 both belong to my buddies who are on 365's. I joined them for a 6 month now. More toys when I get back.
