maybe so, but if you look at it like it do, you will see that you are on salary, and if you just do less work or spend less time actually working each day then you are in fact increasing the amount of money you get paid per hour. so by working less than you, i am merely giving myself a pay raise!

If you are going to use the car for drag racing more than handling then I strongly discourage not to use the aluminum flywheel. The only reason people use aluminum flywheels is for auto cross or road racing to allow the drive train to spool quicker out of turns. Drag racing is a different game all together plus the added weight of cast or billet flywheel is stronger and needless to say a must. I thought I told you that already, although they are lighten versions of billet flywheels available for about the same price. But I think your money should be spent elsewhere.

Same thing happen to one of my soldiers in 2006. Home on leave and passed away. But it was found that he had a infection in the lungs and heart, And a blood vessle in his brain swollen. Mind u he was a PT stud so to speak. I personaly belive it was from the IED attack on our tank because he allways had head aches and complain of shortness of breath in the morning but the doc's found nothing. Hell I had a shard of metal in my leg for 3 years and I had several mri's . I puled it out when I notice the big knot on my leg. I went to the va hospital and they looked at it and sent the metal to some one hell its been over a year and I still dont know **** about it.
