Help me please
I've had my car for almost a month now and I can't stop spending my money. It started off slow...a Corvette hat, key chain, t-shirt...key fob protectors...then ragtop care kit, rear plate frame, front plate surround....a die-cast...SS titanium black letter inserts. I haven't even made my first car payment yet. My wife will kill me if she finds out what I've been spending, I'll end up having to sleep in the car. Actually I wouldn't mind that.
Is this normal?

Wait until you start "jonesing" for the big stuff like suspension, wheel and tire packages, interior make overs, etc.
I've been in your shoes, and after almost 4 years, I am at a point that the car finally looks, sounds, rides, handles, and drives the way I want it and I haven't ever touched the performance aspect of it......then you're talking BIG $$$$$$$!
Don't worry about it, buy your wife a nice Corvette shirt and get her involved in your addiction.

Nothing wrong with that.
Our family just got our new C6 on monday night we have spent 1100 on it already today at West Coast Corvette (amazing Facility BTW, if you get a chance, go check it out). That reminds me I'll try to post up some pictures of the trio of Corvettes that we have tommorow. While at WCC I found a few things for my car, I went there with no intention of buying anything, but couldnt resist. I walked out with a console Cushion, a billiard styleShift ****, New Chrome sill plates, A steering wheel decal, and the airbag corvette Lettering, I probably would have bought more but I only had 300.
