Dummy, modding is like doing Heroine, once you start there's no stopping til you're dead, broke, or otherwise crazy! Enjoy those crisp shifts!

Well, just open up the wallet now. Once you start modding, it's almost impossible to stop.

Oh man, thats exactly how i started. first a simple little short shifter, than a vararam, then a tune; car came with stingers. at that point (approx. 2 months ago) i told myself that is enough for awhile time to save. yeah...right. in about a week now im having heads and cam done spending thousands that i should be saving. its a disease i tell you and now that you've begun there's NO turning back. In other words not only did you pop the vette mod cherry, you got it pregnant...$$$$$$$ lol have fun
