This book must be a two part'r then.
After 21 months of processing for the military I got a call last week saying I have been permanently disqualified due to previous spinal damage from growing up morbidly obese. So, good thing I didn't part out my car or sell anything. Now I have all the time in the world.
In case other people wonder what I've been doing for the past two years.
tl;dr - put health and personal well being before car. I'm fine now, so it's time for moar car.

It was easily the hardest thing I'll probably ever have to do in my life. Complete lifestyle change for 3 years with no breaks. But I really didn't have too many other options. I was already being tested for depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc...Once it got too the point where I was forced to sleep on a breathing machine I decided it was time to change.
Now I just want to compete in powerlifting, enjoy my p.o.s. car and eventually make my way back to school.
Edit: and post moar

More like 300whp 1.6
Less power = more drive time. @300whp my built bottom end should last forever. If the HY is really bad on the highway then I'll either move down to to hx30 or just have Abe make me a nice log and run an 6258 and call it a day.
I want another lake house meet!
I got permanently DQ'd from all branches of service by the doctor at MEPS.
0-redline faster than a rod through my block
The leggings are worth 5lbs on my total like stickers are worth 5hp on your car. Absolutely necessary.
