Hillpounder responds;
first you'll need to pass this test to see if your ready:
1. go to the cash machine and take $500 out, wad it up and flush it down the toilet
2. take a new set of pistons out of the boxes and procede to burn a hole through the top of them with a torch, toss em in the garbage, get on the phone and order 2 more, just mention your name, they know which ones to send
3. take something valuable and sell it for 1/10th what you bought it for
If you can do these 3 simple things and not bat an eye, your ready!
Im going to use that one next time someone asks my what they think it will take to get there boat running over 100mph
