Totally agree! I don't even race my car at all, and I still "feel the need" to keep throwing money at it, and modding it.:bash::rollseyes It is definitely a sickness!

Yea it is what it is. I have the next $15,000 in mods already planned for my car, not including the daily driver I am going to buy, so make that $30,000.

I'm happy with mine. I don't really race mine. I actually baby it around so when I step on it, it's almost like I've never done it before.

I know exactly how you feel. I almost never get in boost. :shrug: Maybe I'm TOO babyish with my car?

I'm pretty happy with my car, its almost stock, aside from the cat-back, and some suspension mods and 18inch reps. i enjoy keeping it clean. She is a garage queen, and I get bashed for that a lot, but its what I like. These cars make fun power stock, but I understand about the mod bug and how it can hit you easy.

Hello, my name is Bryan and I have been an addict for many years. I do have a bad problem but my wallet keeps me in check. I am very happy with my car, it is what I have wanted for years and finally have it. I would just like to fix the small things like my throw out bearing and retainer sleeve and be done for the time being.

it never ends. 2 months ago i sold my 550 rwhp gt for my stock 03 cobra. thought i would enjoy it stock and keep it that way cause i was tired of the dumping money, un-reliable car issues. 2 months after buying the cobra it puts down 630 rwhp, and 572 tq. not sure if its a good thing but its quick.

Hi my name is Jimmy,

I did a bunch of mods to my car, and I love it, no regrets on any of the mods, except gauge choice.

I got real sick and had to quit work. Money stopped, modding stopped, but the urge has never gone away.

At this writing I am still out of work, yet I want 14" front brakes, which will need 18" wheels, and I really NEED a Tiger Racing hood, to keep cooler open tracking even at this modest power level.

I can't afford a track weekend or even the gas and brake fluid I would use, yet I still want to buy all these parts, what the hell is wrong with me?:dw::shrug:

Then there is that Agent 47 front suspension that will just not get out of my head!!!

Did someone mention a BOSS302?

ARRRGGGHHH!:bash:
