Ask me how that went over..... I dunno how I pulled that off, but it happened... and the trailer is getting picked up this Friday.

And it's posts like this I can use to justify what I do
"See honey and I only spent 5k this year."

that's interesting because the only tranny I can afford stands on W42 st and I only get 10 minutes!

Although I'm sure there are a lot of "Tranny's" in good ol' liberal MA.
Apparently the infection is picky about who it gets to, I tried to share with my wife, it didn't work. My wife just keeps reminding about the vacation "I have" to take her on when the car is done. I have a feeling I will be paying for this for quite some time. I figure I will bring up the suspension spending in September or October, it'll give me time to save for another vacation.

Im glad I am not the only one. I have only had my car for like 9 months and have already put almost 5 grand into it. Its getting so bad that when she catchs me reading on here or some parts magazine, she goes off the deep end.
And I told her when we got married that my cars get special treatment!!!! I guess she did not beleive me...

I'm addicted -- from January 2005 until January 2007 I bought five f-bodies. Three online on ebay and two locally. I'm at the point that I'm afraid to even look at the ads on ebay -- I'll start with the small things like vents, radio bezels, then I'll start looking at exhausts, seats, carpeting, hoods, stripes, until I get to the salvage or wrecked cars, then I'll see a car that needs those parts I was just looking at and it's like some kind of grand Karma! God wants me to buy all these parts so I can put them on this car that needs those pieces!
I admit though -- lately, it's not so much the cars (although my last car was just purchased in January this year), but modding my third gen. So far, put a deposit on a 383 and am starting to look for bolt ons, new exhaust, figure out what can stay from my 355 what needs to go -- then I'll be at the track, then I'll need to go faster, and faster....and faster.....and I'm a MOM! At least I'll be understanding when my boys acquire this same addiction -- my oldest just got his learner's and is already starting...he; however, got a Mustang...no help from Mom there.
