Tax dollars at work

Well i got all of my tax refund back a couple weeks ago and have been buying up truck parts like a mother f-er, the only other money i have spent is on bills haha. I blame all of you for helping me buy most of these things, but i guess a thanks is in order too since i would have had no idea about any of these without u guys. No performance parts, mostly maintence and upgraded parts, gotta get it running right and to stop leaking chit. I figure if i get all this little chit outta the way now, later i can get into the performance with the big 3 and some stage I's. Here's a list of what i have bought/ordered so far.

Projector headlights from ebay, riffraff turbo boot, fuel bowl o-ring kit and all the fuel lines to it from clay, hpx oil line, new fuel bowl heater from darmon thats modeld after the sd fb heater, and some under the hood led lights heres a link to what they look like Pacer LED 20 Light Kit the reason behind these is cause i was putting in the hpx and turbo boot last night with a flashlight in my mouth which tasted like oil for some reason so i thought these would be nice. tommorow i gotta go pick up a vss and positive battery cable cause mines so caroded i cant tighten it down to the battery and more.

And im debating at whether to buy more stuff, all unnecessary but hey you only live once. on my mind is a chrome cobra cb with a pa speaker and firestik 2 thats mounted on the fender with a hd spring, some retroresolution HIDs, and diamond plated bed caps. So just thought i'de come on here and brag, since im mostly complianing about my truck, and thank you guys.

yea i got 2 white ones seemed like they would throw out the best light. i like it cause im usually working on my truck in the school parking lot with no help and no over head lights or plug-ins. Plus i thought if im ever broke down on the side of the road these would be a huge help.

Penniless again, huh Blake, LOL!! Now you can stop dreaming of those items and start thinking of the next stuff, it never ends! Sounds like working on the truck in the parking lot is like in a camp ground, I hate it. It seems like everybody is starring at you.
