Some of the best deals you have snagged?

So I'm always on the look out for awesome deals. I'm the KING of doing the most with the least $$$, here are some of the most memorable deals I have snagged:


$1,500 for a complete DSS 9" rear end kit. These things retail for like $6,500!





$1,400 for a complete set of Welds with drag radials and skinnies. I actually paid $1,700 for these, but they came with an extra set of tires that I didn't need and sold for $300.






$475 for a DSS aluminum driveshaft. This was great, but I new I wanted a 9" kit and I wouldn't be able to use this DSS with it so I sold it.






$749 complete 1 7/8" stainless XSPower headers, 3" offroad x pipe and 3" catback. This didn't fit perfectly, I had to ding the pipes in a few spots, but that didn't bother me. I've had to do that to headers and exhaust from every company. These performed EXACTLY like if not better than systems costing 3 times as much.

$137.71 Volant cold air intake. This was a typo price at a website. I should have bought multiples and resold them, but I didn't know how good they were. Turns out they work GREAT! I've never been a fan of metal intakes for obvious reasons so I jumped on this one cause it was plastic.






$111 two 275/40 20 90% tread stock Pirelli rear tires. I bought these when I was gonna run 20x9 all the way around, but then decided to run 18s.

$100 bought a used TSP 231/236 cam TWO YEARS AGO! It's still sitting on the shelf. I want to run 11's with just bolt ons before I put this in. With the 9" above and 4.57 gears I think I can get there.






So, you guys got any killer deals you wanna brag about?

Got a hot blonde to go out with me for only riding in the Camaro and dinner at Applebees then "do the wild thing" with me at her place and then I went home. Figure that was a $300-$500 savings depending on how things are priced in your area.

Depends on the service!

They have cheap drinks there, easy pickings. That and he is in Oregon, nobody in the history of Oregon had paid for it with anything other than your friendly VD.

lol, I didn't ask 'why Applebees'

I posted that he should say it was at a classier place. Where I'm from, that's a very small step up from saying "I took my hot date to McDonald's", the step up being that you can get booze at Crapplebees
