Ahh at least your wife is cool with it so far...as for me I'm recently single...so I have noone to answer to but me and my bank account... I hear ya though, I think and hope that I am done for quite some time....I let myself get a bit out of hand...when i started looking for a car I was gunna spend 25...then that became 30, which became 33...then I told myself 10 on the SC + install and the stereo....that quickly became over 20 now with the wheels,stereo,SC & other mods and odds and ends...probably more like 25...so my original 25 for a new car has become over 50... SNOWBALL EFFECT!!!
But, I'm going on 35, have 2 wonderful kids, I'm young enough to enjoy it but not too young to "enjoy it too much"...and I always say, "I only get to live one time"... so enjoy it while ya can...I don't wanna grow old regretting something that i could have done and didn't.... So hell yeah TJ..live it up and enjoy these precious moments!

Seriously, I cant imagine you guys out there that are pushing 7lbs of boost plus with your other superchargers and turbos. This thing really scares the sheeyat right out of me.

RE: Supercharged: Words cant describe.....
I'm glad you are enjoying the Saleen... it's a nice piece, thats for sure.
I'm currently in a dilema myself. I have recieved orders to Germany, I will be leaving sometime in June and I can't decide if I will take the 'Stang or not. The real problem is if I have any problems, it is a ver LONG drive to Memphis to get her looked at... But the idea of making a run on the Autobahn or even driving the Loop... very tempting.
