glad youre alive and hope you have a lot of good years ahead!
Holy crap, I never thought about it that way! My wife jokingly called me IronMan haha.
Technically, I was a cyborg for a year. Had a LVAD (left ventricle assistance device) which was basically a pump (functions like a turbo) inside the left side of my heart.
This is when they pulled it out for my heart transplant.

Congratulations. Where did you get it done? Albuquerque used to be the leading heart, Sargent.

More recently, I had a trans "built" specifically for offroad abuse. I installed it, and a new Derale fan cooled trans cooler. Ran braided stainless lines and all.
Put the AN-8 adapters in the trans and cracked the housing. Learned about tapered fittings that day.
Ruined a $3500 trans. Had to get another of course.
So 7k plus a few hundred in fluids.
Lots of negative pressure.
