Default Military toys

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

well, heres mine.... got this one prior to getting in, but tax dollars surely helped get it to the point of where it is now....

then this one, I got after moving back to the states,



this was about 1/2 deployment


also had a 69 chevelle, and my newest is my truck..... not to mention the countless other toys that I have bought out of a whim.... looking back at how stupid it was...
