More than I ever care to think about or remember.
I overlook the bigger things as part of the bigger picture, but its the little things that put it into perspective. Kinda like today when i bought one PAIR of rod bolts for yeild testing… thats TWO bolts, just TWO… and the bill came to almost 140 bucks.
Now, thats almost 70 a bolt, and I have 20 of those in my engine? Do the math… are you kidding me? I could buy 2-3 winter beaters with my fucking rod bolts!
I can justify high costs on custom parts due to them not being off the shelf or anything close, but even the run-of-the-mill parts like this that cost so much because of what they actually are… When put into perspective, it is somewhat sickening.

So exactly what makes a bolt worth $70 bucks?
