I purchased my C6 in September, 2007. I have added several "enhancements" since the purchase. I thought it would be a good idea to keep a detailed list including what I spent. BAD, BAD, BAD idea! When will it end? Not soon, just ordered a couple more items this AM. I admit it, I need help!

There was a thread a few weeks ago about that, I made a spread sheet of what I had done and spent, after my panic attack subsided, I vowed never to spend another penny on the Vette, So I proceeded to Fleabay and got more stuff for my Bike, problem solved.

Keeping the list isn't a bad thing... Ignoring the warning signs when you see the list is!

Ask me how I know...



Hmmm.... Maybe I can buy a new Z06...

I've been to many funerals and never have I seen a casket with a drawer in it to take money with you. Spend it, enjoy it and burn your bank statements.

I save receipts for at least a year or until a warranty expires... I once added up what I spent on computers, daily nonsense **** I wanted and I said to myself... I buy these things for enjoyment, life is too short to worry about what you spent.

Buy things for pleasure and be done with them, you can always make more money!
