Default Help do I have a problem?

I have only really driven my car for 1 season and look what's happened. Do I have a mod problem?

Eclipse nav unit, Sirius radio, B&M Ripper.


A little under hood bling.


And the hood it's under.


The car also has a Vortex cai, LS7 clutch, and has been lowered.

You had a problem the day you decided to buy a C5. It's called being a modiholic, and there is no known cure.

Thanks Slolane, hey are you planning on going to GVSU Saturday? Probably should start a thread in The GL section.

I suffer from the addiction too. I've had my car for a little over 6 weeks and I've already spent over $2k on mods. Now this might not sound like a lot to a guy who has a supercharger under the hood, but I'm a full time student as well and that's a significant percentage of my budget.

PS - Is that the AVN5435 or the new AVN5500?

It's the 5435. $2k in 6 weeks I think you have a bigger problem than I do.

Nice. However, I don't see any indications of any problems.
