That's why I keep a folder in my garage. Actually it's an expandable file and it's full. I need another one.

I'm right there with you guys. I keep all my expenses for the car in another file for insurance purposes.

I've been through every nook and cranny of this car and can wire things or get to things so fast it's amazing. It took me just alittle over in hour yesterday to put in an MSD 2 step rev limiter which included the removal and reinstall of my driver seat.


"Hi, my name is Simon and I'm a modaddict."

I know Chevykiller already has that name but it rings true for several of us.

LOL! You think that is bad, not only does my UPS man know me by my first name, he has my phone number in his personal cell phone, and delivers my box's to work address automatically even though its address else where because he knows its easyer for me to pick them up there. Oh...almost forgot, "you know your have an addiction when" Everyone in your Mustang Club comes over to check out your ride to see if the mod's they would like to do look good or not LOL!

I once sat down to try to figure out what kind of money I had in my 98 Turbo Cobra.

The car's not even CLOSE to done, but with a built motor, ported heads, lots of powdercoating, a Griggs GR40 suspension, built T56, fully built rear, and everything else you can think of, I got sad as I got closer to 40k...

Yuck...
