Default How many. . .

How many times have you said to yourself, "I'm not going to do one more single mod to my corvette !" and how long was it till you broke your promise ?

See for me, I do one mod and then since I'm in the mood to do that mod, I say "why not do this mod", and after that I'm looking at three of four different mods and I know I'm going over the rail. This is a epidemic

Said I was done on a Friday night after I got some chrome stuff from Chip at CCA. Went out to the garage the next morning and I was looking over the work from the day before, the black screws on the body panels just looked bad.... Back on line and ordered a full set of stainless screws Saturday morning. I will never say I'm done cause all that does is make me look for something else

Don't know how many times I've been there. Winter before Last, started out with custom hood work which led to chrome hinges, strikers and latches. This past Winter, started out with a Caravaggio rear spoiler which then led to a Tigershark front end then a new set of wheels - Damm, it's killin me..

Honey, this is the last one; honest!

She's heard that 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years!
