Damn, all that work for only $30000, that is awesome!!! Great way to skirt the BS taxes.

I lived in Toronto all my life cars were dirt cheap !! Had a used 2006 Porsche 911 Turbo for $42,000 !!! but insurance was a bitch !

damn, I remember when i was Pakistan this summer; an eighth gen honda accord(Inspire JDM) 3.5liter is $76,000.00 and a toyota tundra 4.7 liter was around $90k

but i commend you for your work, this is boss. Definitely an epic story to tell with a group a friends.
