Ive used a seatbelt attached to a winch line to flip a car over before... They are versatile and strong.

i think i got started too young and got burned out / insensitive. started school after i graduated HS and shortly before i turned 18, got out of school when i was 19... worked for Central ambulance (bought out by MedTrans, and then again by AMR shortly after) doing GOMER totes, and back up 911 for Dallas FD because it was one of the few places that hired under 21. when i turned 21, i transferred to a sister company (MedStar) in Fort Worth where we were the 911 service for it the 11 cities surrounding it.

after 4 years of working weekends and nights, i decided i wanted a normal job... out of the weather, day hours, no holidays, and not having to worry about needle sticks or anything (had 4 total). i do miss it sometimes, but it is a very negative depressing job. you see people at their worst, and see things you shouldnt have to see because the world is so effed up. work in IT now, days, AC, no stress, and get paid more.

I'm sure your back thanks you as I know people who were paramedics for 15 years and have all sorts of back issues from lifting and rescuing overweight people.

I bought Savanna Little's Quaife diff to finally replace my (beat to death and most likely now open) oem VLSD... the price was literally insane. Sometimes it pays to be quick on the FB replies and quick on the paypal send.

Apparently only has one season /2k miles in her race Z, and moved to OS Giken due to her deal w Enjuku..

500 dollars.. SHIPPED. Im stoked.

That bad boy look like it would crank over my lawn tractor on a sunny day... Good thing your in Florida, it has a fighting chance. Would be interesting to know what it actually has for CCA when tested, I think a normal 35 series battery is rated at 500+ CCA and tests at 600+

Probably only need 250ish to crank over the VQ saved like 30+lbs

Hope it works well for you
