Default Uh-Oh!! Mod bug in full effect!!!

Well, my credit card has taken a beating the last few days... I just got done with my second purchase order... and yet to have purchased the CLB, which was my original only purchase intention!!!

From Corvette Garage:

Halltech Stinger (red)

From Ecklers:

Trunk partition
exhaust plate
a couple signs
some other do-dads

From local Stores:
Limo tint in back, 25% on front
Black Dash cover

Not good!!!! I've now purchased all the "little" things that I can possibly get my hands on... nowhere to go but up!!!

Now I must go find a place to make my purchase which I originally intended to make, my CLB!

Note to self: Credit Card + Corvette + Internet = Mac & Cheese for next 30 days!!

EDIT: Oh, and forgot my Corvette Summer on DVD that just released yesterday!!! Its on the way too!!!!

You're off to a nice start! As for me, I always make sure I've got the cash on hand before I spend it to avoid mac and cheese months! Have fun installing everything!

Enjoy your mods, and the good thing is you started with small things (like me) but watch out with those credit cards. Just ask a few other members who have accumulated so much debt. If I can't buy cash, I don't buy.

Congratulations.

Modaholics meetings are held on Monday of each week.

Do not be ashamed to admit your addiction - many others suffer the same problem.

:o You will need to let me know where the meeting will be held because the LG headers and A@A procharger kit is waiting at Carolina Auto Masters to be installed for my beloved "PRECIOUS!"

That's how mod fever hits - fast and furious. BTW, I'd recommend the CLB from Thunder Racing.

The forum members used to meet on the 'Babe' section - then the Mods took that away from us

Now, each Modaholic is on their own

BTW - congratulations on the pProCharger and LG's - awesome.

Hey neighbor. I installed the CLB from Thunder Racing a couple of weeks ago. Their CLB was an EZ install with no issues.

Howdy, I had a good friend that lived in Clovis a while ago.. he went to Clovis West... I used to go up there a lot, havn't been up there in years... it seemed like a nice area.. is it still?

Thanks for suggestion on CLB.. I will order it today... I just don't know about that last step, where you have to "pull out the dash 3 inches" to get it to come out...

Yes, Clovis is still a great place to live. If you use Thunder Racing's CLB, here are some great instructions w/pics. CLB Instructions A little challenging to pull part of the dash, but it does go back together just fine.

good luck, and
