Like a Freakin' Kid in a Candy Store!!!!
Ok.....so the original plan I made two weeks ago was to take the car into A&A for 4.10's. Since then, that plan has been modified to include installation of Vararam, Lowered, Frame Saver Combo, and now Long Tube Headers and an X-pipe. I can't stop I tell you......I CAN'T STOP!!!! HELP ME!!!! 
It's there right now......everything is done except for the headers, which are now going on as I type this.....I pick the car up tomorrow....I feel like a freakin' 7 year old on Christmas Eve!!!!

There's a problem here, buddy?
You sound perfectly normal to me - just like all the rest of us crazies here in this Forum!!
I've spent $20k+ in mods on my car in the 3 months I've owned it..... and I was out of the country for 30 days!!!
We all have it bad.... Congrats on the mods
