I can't stop the mod train
So I figured I would be kinda happy with the stuff in my signature....wrong.
In the past week I've ordered stuff at a record pace. So far in the past 5 days:
BMR adj. combo LCAs
BMR adj panhard rod and brace
Steeda HD rear swaybar w/endlinks
Infinity Kappa's for the front and rear
CDC hood struts
(and I can't stop looking at new stuff)
I don't want to even talk about the amount of money I've been spending on tools lately either (think going from a hammer, combo pliers and some screw drivers to just about everything short of air tools and a compressor...which will be a must once I get a garage).

RE: I can't stop the mod train
This stuff will get cha. I'm fighting the urge to splurge on a new D/S, rear swaybar, and shifter. Amongst other plans I have for the car. The moneys there but I have to spend on responsible boring grown-up stuff like plane tickets etc etc...It doesn't help that ever other mustang in the 50 squaremile area is boosted, blown, or spraying.

RE: I can't stop the mod train
I'm working harder now at 56 than I ever have with a second job(forensics)to pay to play.......also having loads of fun though. When I complain about my girlfriend getting yet another pair of shoes...she says...."oh yeahhhh and how much was that transmission you just ordered....didn't the car come with a perfectly good one?!"

Two months is kind of a long wait though....

RE: I can't stop the mod train
I'm trying to limit myself to one item per month. It's very very hard and my bookmark list of things I like continually grows but you do at least get something every month.
This month is my birthday so I should be getting a few of them knocked out
I bought myself some stuff already (lol) but am at least pretending to be good about it and not put it on until my actual birthday.
