Default 10bolt+6 speed+mickeys= SNAP!!

well here is what i have so far......

right now i am setting up my spare 10 bolt. But last night at about midnight i found out i left the "paddle" that goes in my posi unit up in college station. So as soon as the weather slows up a little bit i have to drive up there, pick the paddle up, and continue working on this junk.

I am done with holding my breath every time i get on my car hoping the rear will hold. I am either going to get a credit card to buy a 12 bolt or take out a loan from somewhere. Any thoughts?

Here it is:

sounds like a good idea except i'm taking 12hrs of college along with my current job. So a second job isn't an option.

You could try to find a credit card offer with like 12 months no interest...buy a 12 bolt and pay like $200 a month...then at least you wouldn't have to pay interest.

You sure did tear that up good...I'm amazed at the breaks in the "gearing."

I guess I'll just stick with crappy street tires (non DRs that is).

There's no hidden stuff...I paid for college that way. Put tuition on the card...made big payments while going to school. I graduated without any debt, and that includes buying a friken expensive engagement ring. Let's just say, the ring cost well more than my turbo, all the accessories for it and a nicely built 12 bolt (which I still don't have yet) .

Boom goes the dynamite!

I'll probably be ordering my 12-bolt at the end of this week. Once I get my torque arm delivered, I'll make the call.

Interested in a very used 10-bolt?

Bank of America online has alot of those 12 months no % deals. check it out man, oh and don't be scared, your eventually going to have cards if not you sir, would be Amish.
