Wrote my '14 off with 600 miles on it, guy calls me this year and says she's running great with 2000 on it now. He bought it repaired from the guy who got it from auction and repaired it. I had a lean on it still due to paperwork issues so I helped him out. Boy was he surprised at the pictures of the tunnel bent and touching the track waaay back in Allen lol. Old Serial number was on the new tunnel and everything

Sometimes it makes for a better future engine Dan as well, turbos push the stock parts harder and find the next week link quicker like they did on the 800 with bad rods.. this is mostly free info for brp..

Had a motor go out and damaged raves on the 18 so far and I wanted to boost that sled, but since then feel motor is not stout enough for boost and will sell off..

You have a alternate definition of "free." In my book, $4k to replace engine is not free knowledge.

Yeah she looks right up my alley. 3 seasons ago I lived with 4 chicks in a 4500sqft 70s mansion, on mnt revelstoke. Best season of my life.

But im probably only taking a month off this season. It will be later in the season.

I have some new goals. Focusing on buisness and going to Buy a beach house with a dock, wake board boat ext. I can't even wake board...lol

There will be babes on the boat without a doubt.

Going to have to cut back on the sledding a bit thought.

You guys have no idea how much I love sledding.

I have to make some money though, got a taste of the good life after I got divorced 6 year ago, need more $$$$ to.bring it to the next level. Know what I'm sayin?, this is just the beginning not the end
