Anyone sell or wreck a modded car and had to start modding all over again?

Well I'm in this boat. My previous cars were sold within months of one another.
Previous cars
1998 TA -All the bolt ons,Tuned, A4, Koni Shocks, etc. 335hp 338tq
2001 SS -Cammed tuned all the bolt ons -385hp 375 tq
Now my current 2 rides
00 Vette -Corsa Catback
00 Formula- Lid coming tomorrow
This sucks! I was just planning out future mods and it seems it will take alot to get my current cars up to the level my previous were on
Anyone else?

I'm confused about why you would sell the cars you had, only to buy similar cars and want to get back to the same level you were already at?
You could have saved a lot of time and trouble and just kept what you had, or at least returned them to stock and re-used the parts if you just wanted a different trim level of F-body.

Yea, right here. Not really heavily modded - but addressing the same problems again. '96 was wrecked. 2000 - LCA Bushings, window motors (re-modding with relays to "fix" the window motor problem, need to throw out the cruddy monsoon system with the non-working CD changer to rebuild the stereo system, leather on the driver's seat bolster again needs to be fixed, plus the usual suspects - rattles, squeeks, etc., that I had under control in the last car.
Yes, its easier knowing what to chase. But - it's also maddening doing the same stuff all over again and wanting it all done "tomorrow".
