Lol, not gonna happen. I have a rule about selling off one hobby to finance another. Never happens. If I sell guns its to buy guns or gun related items only.

I don't. My SAR-1 just became a TFS intake manifold.

They very rarely do My ex hated my car and tried to get me to sell it (yes my g/f not even fiance) but my new g/f of 8 months bought me my new TB and EGR Spacer for my b-day, granted it doesn't cost alot, but it sure meant alot especially since i never said anything to her about parts for my car.

That isn't helping my financial situation - BUT I LOVE IT I only owe about $2500 more and that should be paid for within the next few months. Rebuilding the engine in the GT, and paying for college as I go are also drainers, but I might be getting financial aid for the last year. I should graduate next year and then I can hopefully make some decent bank and buy a house

Of course... Isn't it everyone's civic duty to own at least 1 AK? I've got a VEPR K that isn't going anywhere, ever. At one point I owned 3 AKs, the SAR-1, VEPR K, and a 20" Saiga.

I flip guns for car parts and car parts for guns all the time...depends on my mood.
