I kept the front bumper and the aero kit.

I also kept the 180SX center section.

Get on the truck.

It's gone, forever.

Is the R30 next? Christ, I don't deserve nice things. :facepalm:

Not really. At the current exchange rate the Hijet is about $70 a year, the 7 $400, the R is Y plated so it's only half the 7's tax. It would be double if it was J plate, but it's still not so bad. My bike costs $5 a year. I keep trying to give them 20 so I don't have to go back for four years, but so far they won't do it.

What does kill me is gas. My bike, the R and the 7 all drink off-base hi octane, the truck is like a frat boy, he'll drink anything including that crappy low octane watery base gas. The 7 also runs premix and the oil is a super duper Motul dirtbike 2-stroke oil at over $30 a liter and I mix 200:1 so I'm paying roughly $8-9 a gallon to feed that Irishman, he drinks it up almost as fast as I dump it in.

When a GT-R with that turbo gets better milage than your other car, that car is rediculous. :facepalm:
