Based on how much they paid our lovable OP I know this is not correct.

65 is reasonable for the drivers, he's confusing it with the $12 spectator admission. I think.

One of my little projects is researching if there's a market for C6 Corvette turbo kits. Edit: Not on a high volume.

Is anything you make "high volume"? Also what do you consider to be high volume?

I have to make 10 of anything for it to be worth my time. I want to sell 30 RB manifolds per year, for example.

Doing some research, I'd want to do a single turbo kit. The market is flooded with really lovely twin-turbo kits. $700 Garrett T3/T4s as far as the eye can see.

So they just use the stock exhaust manifold or what? (I.e. not pictured?) That has to be far from ideal. Seems cheap for the power you would be going for in a twin turbo kit. Materials question: When I had my A4 I always kind of wanted to get the APR kit with the inconel manifold, even though its probably overkill. Purely out of curiosity - I imagine you typically use just 304 SS?

They use the stock manifold or a Hooker factory replacement with the Hooker logo ground out (seriously). For what it is that is perfectly fine. V8 headers aren't really doing much unless you are actually tuning them for a specific length. Usually space is the primary concern. Look at the factory Ford Coyote headers in the new Mustang.  Yowza! For my manifolds I use 304SS. Nothing fancy.

Getting dental insurance that doesn't cost more than the total amount of benefits they would pay out over a year seems to be impossible from what I've seen.

I currently get a cleaning 3 times a year. I have 4 wisdom teeth to get pulled and 3 "soft spots" that need to be addressed. I could use the insurance. For non-America readers: It cost me $180USD for my routine checkup and yearly XRAY today. Edit: Not sure why I thought Xray should be in all capitals.

I was looking into it because I have a couple of impacted wisdom teeth and a couple of cracked molars plus various other poo poo and I came to the conclusion that the only way I was going to be able to afford it is to win the lottery or something. I pay $25/month for a plan that covers basically nothing but cleanings and braces. Actual dental procedures have a maximum benefit of like $1000/year and 50% co-insurance. Considering an abscessed tooth can get infected and actually kill you, I wish this poo poo was covered by medical insurance like it should be.

Are they impacted or in fairly straight? Asking because two lovely dentists here in FL said I should have all four of mine pulled, then when I was in NY and saw a real dentist he said it was horse poo poo and they were just trying to rape my wallet, because my wisdom teeth weren't hurting anything and to go into surgery for basically no reason was dumb. I'd get a few opinions before shelling out the money and getting put under.

Nah, my wisdom teeth need to go. My jaw aches pretty much every day and makes wearing a welding helmet the drizzling shits. They also said that the years I wasn't being so tooth crazy have basically ruined them and they are going to rot out anyway. A year ago they had to numb my whole mouth to properly scrape the poo poo off my teeth, this time my gums hardly even bled when they flossed them (except for these loving wisdom teeth again).  Hey if I wasn't such a dumbass my whole life I'd have nice teeth right now. Wowee!!

Good luck with the wisdoms when you get them removed. Boost meal replacement stuff was a savior for me while they were out.

Post wisdom teeth I woke up at home feeling thirsty so I went to get some water. When I bent over the sink the gauze in my mouth fell out and it was so blood soaked I freaked out because I thought I'd bitten off my tongue.

You guys are babies. I've had 13 teeth pulled total. Four baby teeth ripped out so the adults would grow in faster. Then I got those ripped out because my jaw was too small and I needed braces. Then I got my wisdom teeth yanked out. And before all this when I was very little I ripped out a baby molar trying to bite two Lego apart. It wasn't even loose and the entire root was still attached. My mom was more freaked out than I was.

^^^^^ Haha suck it dude, I had eleven baby teeth pulled over the course of a single summer to make room for the adult teeth, then the tragedy below for a total of fifteen. Who can topple my record?? I had my wisdom teeth out at 18 on my mom's Cadillac insurance plan. They gave me a valium drip to calm me down, then nitrous to put me out. Guess what? I loving woke up during the middle of the surgery (four impacted teeth that all needed to come out), with the surgeon gripping the tooth cracker with both hands and one foot up on the tray next to me for leverage. The best part? I was so drugged up at the time I thought it was hilarious, not terrifying at all. I promptly closed my eyes and drifted back into dreamworld. Soon thereafter I flirted poorly with the recovery nurse, flipped her off jokingly on my part but she thought I was serious, and sang "How Sweet It Is" to no one in particular. Drugs are fun!!

I don't remember the gas making me loopy, it was all the drugs afterward. Then again, I hated the gas and would just become a mouthbreather when they strapped the nasal cannula on. gently caress that stuff.

I remember the gas making me feeling amazing just before they injected whatever to knock me out. Woke up groggy but otherwise fine and took one of the vicodins they gave me later in the day just because they said to. Woke up the next day and nothing hurt so I didn't take any more pain killers and all was fine. I'm not entirely sure I needed my wisdom teeth out but in the end it wasn't an unpleasant experience so oh well.
