Default MOD FEVER ATTACK!!!..Why can't I stop?

Well I knew it was only a matter of time before it hit again..Well it did! :yesnod: The appointment has been made with Mike Norris Motorsports and Agostino Racing for September 16....Yeah, Wade will be building me a set of heads with bigger valves and polishing the bowls and a few more mods to open the heads. I'm keepin the cam ..I love that cam:yesnod: ..I 've got the Hurst Roll Control ordered and I got an itch for the Yank ST3500 torque converter..I'll get this puppy into the mid 11's yet on the motor..then it's on the the juice for the 10's..:smash: :smash: :smash:

It's just a matter of time.. chances are that should keep me happy for a while.. :chevy Good thing I'm on a budget..could you imagine if I lost control :lol:

The fever always gets worse....and always costs more $$.

Stroker makes the fever better for sime time....then you may want a SC or turbo and then...........

Soooo.. who knows the 12 steps....Anyone? :rolleyes:
As reqeusted - by a fellow addict! :jester

1. We admitted we were powerless over mod fever - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity....yeh, more HORSE POWER!

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of all of the sponsors on the CF Forum as we understood Them.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves....and concluded that when it comes to mod fever, we are hopeless.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our mod fever...and then swapped parts catalogs.

6. Were entirely ready to have Our Sponsors remove all these defects of character. Defects of character? DEFECTS OF CHARACTER?! We don't have no stinking defects of character!!!

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings...such as stock intakes, stock exhausts, stock top ends, stock bottom ends, stock trannys, stock gears, stock rims and tires...

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all....yeah, like that young punk in the Mustang that I waxed last weekend!

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others....yeah, only beat Vipers by three car-lengths instead of six!

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Yeah, like when I got too low a stall converter. I admitted I was "wrong" and updated my "personal inventory" by getting a Pro Thruster from "Father Mike" at YANK!

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Yep, this works. I prayed and meditated that VISA would increase my credit limit. Thus, the knowledge that came with the power of prayer and the power of purchase was answered and now I can get even MORE mods!

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other fellow mod-aholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs. :D

Brother Gary

(Sometimes I just can't help myself - :rolleyes: )
