Well Taco, J told me himself that he's spent more on mods than he paid for the car to begin with. So, I was just guessing.

Well he didn't buy the car new... I'm trying to think what he has on that car...

ASpec kit - 1000ish
Exhaust - 1500ish
J pipe - 450ish
PCDS/HFPC? - 250-450ish
Wheels/tires - 4500ish
Lighting mods - let's say a combined 1500ish total?
Suspension - 1500ish
Tint, visors, roof spoiler - 650ish?
Under drive pulley - 150ish

Not sure what else he has. I'm sure there are smaller items on there too, so let's throw in another 1000 to cover those off.

I guess if you throw in the items he's bought and sold (and probably lost a bit of money on) that adds up too..

The good thing is the wheels can be parted with and the thing can be put back on stockies to recoup some money. The rest I wouldn't bother taking off a car to recoup a few pennies.

Yup that thing is delicious. Haven't ever heard anyone complain about eating some of it. Gotta give the Mexicans that, Mexican & Tex-Mex food is delicious.

Cook until ready, serve a portion with sour cream/salsa/shredded cheese/guacamole. Easy, creates enough lunches for the next 2 days.
Well damn, I know what I'm making for lunches. Do you pre-cook the chicken and ground beef, and what temp/how long do you cook the whole thing at?

Usually I do either chicken or ground beef, not both in the same lasagna.

Pre-cook the chicken or the beef in a pan with mexican spices. Don't need to remove excess water.

I then mix the chicken/beef with cream of cheese/cheese soup making a thicker mix. Sometimes I add some store bought taco sauce.

Oil the high edge oven-safe pan properly (bottom and edges), put a flour tortilla at the bottom.
Off the top of my head, but I usually end up improvising depending what I have:
Put a layer of meat, tortilla, a layer of black beans and salsa mixed, tortilla, a layer of guacamole (not too thick), tortilla, layer of more meat and some corn, tortilla.

Cover and put in oven at like 425 until ready (~20 minutes I think? I just check it every once in a while).
Remove top and put some shredded cheese (Monterrey is good, brick/marble cheddar will do) and broil until cheese is slightly brown.

Serve with spoon of sour cream 14%, spoon of guacamole, bit of added shredded cheese and a bit of salsa.


It's so messy yet so delicious. I'll ask the girlfriend if she can do better instructions than me, we both do it very similarly but she's a professional cook so everything is like perfectly calibrated taste-wise, time-wise and everything-wise. I just improvise most of my food.

Alright officer.



GF texted me quickly:
"beef or chicken, taco sauce, black beans, cheddar soup, taco spice pack, tortillas, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, maybe tomato and avocado or green onions.
Cook the meat with spices and add soup (with no water added) and taco sauce. Then it's just make layers in a pan. Cheese every other layer so it sticks together. Tomato and stuff is for garnish
Bake in oven at like, 400ish until melted"

RS, this is your manager writing. We've noticed a severe decline in your productivity on AZ. If it does not increase shortly, we will be forced to terminate your contract. And you.

Kind regards,
Your manager

I'm not sure my oven is fabulous enough to have a "like, 400ish" setting but I'll do my best. Thanks!
