Default big week for the stang...

It's always darkest just before the light. This weekend I failed an UDP install, got owned on the street and suffered through the forum update, all the while sweating the ship confirmation of my backordered CAI. Well it's Monday and I finally got the ship confirmation for the C&L CAI/retune[sm=happy046.gif]plus the Steeda RU/LCAs have shipped and should be here today...car should go in for the UDPs and CAs this week, I'll slap the CAI in mid or late week...
...but now my mod list is empty, and I swore I'd stop after all this stuff was put in...but the idea of slapping on some 4:10s keeps running through my mind...haunting me, really...maybe an o/r pipe with MIL eliminators...instead, maybe I should start a savings account for a lawyer's retainer, bail money, new tires, new clutch LOL...
...after this week's mods I guess I'll helmet up and hit the track (hoping for a high 12 even w/o good driver mod LOL)...
...I need a twelve-step program!

I know the feeling. I have probably spent over $4000 in the last two months on mods. I get lowered, Tokico D Specs, LCAs, chrome valve covers, chrome oil cap, overflow cap, brake fluid cap, etc. In addition, I'm going to Mustang week in Mrtle Beach in a couple of weeks.

^^^ to make things worse, I prepaid about four months' rent to my landlady/GF to get her out of a jam, so now I'm in the (incorrect) mindset that I've got an extra 530 a month for mods for four months!

LOL I'm almost finished. I'm going to put American Racing LT headers and high flow cats on before the end of the summer and that will be it.

I wish I had the money to put anything on my car.

It's better to do too much than not be able to do anything at all.

Don't worry, 2 weeks from now on my next paycheck I am not hitting the bank I am hitting brenspeed for a JLT/xcal combo. Hell yes!
