Just wait until you have as much or more in mods than what you paid for the actual car. Explain that to the wife.

Good thing I'm divorced!

Tell me about it. This is worse than owning a boat. I've only had mine a month and I'm already in for a full Zaino kit, SS inserts, CLB bypass and CAGS bypass. I still need to get some race ramps and jacking pucks, not to mention some non runflats and maybe some Lloyds mats. There's no end in sight.

Hurry up and get rid of your wife. The longer you wait,the more expensive the divorce. If you just don't have it in your heart to do it, get another job, see a therapist or learn to hide your expenses better!

Hello my name is Tux... an I'm a vettaHolic, I stopped drinking so I could buy modz. (I tought that would be healthier) Then my wife started complaining about my affair with the black gal in the garage...

Hmph, I fixed her...

I sold her car an bought her a vert. Now for some reason she doesn't complain much any more.

AAAHHH the simpicities in life, which vette to drive today?!

Save The Wave.....

I just added Z06 Ti exhaust, Brake Ducts here on Monday, so the next logical step is the ProCharger right? I'm assuming it will void my warranty but 350 hp is enough for only so long. Sure there are other ways to increase horsepower but none of them compare to a supercharger.

Go to the mirror and look at yourself and admit you have a problem. Then as quick as you did that, then start working on your poker face. You will have a lot of splaining to do in the future and you have to learn not to crack a smile when you buy performance parts and try to tell her that you did it for her...

I can't believe that still works, why wouldn't I keep doing it?

Enjoy... Vinnie

You'll make up for lost time. Let us know when you get back so we can buy you a cold one. Buying mods is less painful when you are loaded.
