So here I am, pricing up the cost of me buying some new lighting gear for my photography, and some little tidbits to go in my home to decor it, and I keep tabbing over to Mustang websites looking at MORE THINGS to buy for my Mustang!

As some of you know, I finally installed my racing stripes on my car last week, and as tedious as that was, it was extremely rewarding. And now, i want to do more, i want to spice it up even more. I want to feel more jolted in my seat than I already am when I push the pedal. I want to keep buying her things because she treats me so well. I've already been looking at my credit card and thinking about plunging into a turbo and telling myself "THATS IT", knowing deep inside I will be saying "thats it until I can afford more". You'd think my girlfriend would be telling me to slow it down, but whenever I talk about new wheels, new performance mods, new custom exterior/interior upgrades, instead she's like "oooh honey, i think you should get THIS instead". Thats not helping...

Is this how it all started for you other addicts? Does it just start with a couple pieces like mine, and then you just go head-on and sulk more into spending more on it? Why did Ford have to make this Mustang
so cotd--n sexy? Why did the aftermarket companies have to make so many cotd--n beautiful goodies? I feel like I should be standing up in a full room of other people, holding axlebacks, UDPs, boxes of racing stripes, and shift ***** in their hands, saying

"Hi, My name is Anthony, and I'm a Mustang Mod-a-holic"....

What do I do?

 

I would join you in that. The only thing holding me back is the limited pocketbook!!

 

Yep....thats how it starts..... then you keep going....more and more. Then you're girlfriend (wife) will start to tell you you're going overboard....you have to start lying and sayin "Oh, I had that for a while. I just didin't install it until yesterday." From here, you start hiding parts, having them shipped to your job or friends house. Next thing you know, you're hiding parts behind the treadmill. (somewhere she'll never see them) It's a vicious cycle, but hey......I love my supercharger

 

You're not doing it right until there is a UPS box in front of the door every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when you get home

 

actually i have stayed away from the addiction. There is a bunch of stuff i want to do to my car but two things are going to happen before i go in with two feet.

1. Pay the car off, god it would be horrible if i need some of that money from mods to go towards the car when i still have a lein on it (like the motor goes and not warranted)

2. Move out. I am 24 now, and finished college. i think its time to move on from the parents house, they arent forcing me out. but i feel it is time for me.

that said if i had the money a couple years ago.... i dont know what i would do

 

I'm in the same boat, though, the major things are all paid for, and done! The little things don't count as they aren't expensive. But yes, I still look in all the magazines and see things that I can add (like the PJ Watts Linkage suspension... ).

But I have to restrain myself, as I have to pay for a portion of a mortgage, and my few bills I have (phone, CC bill @ 0% interest for my L/T's, and meds I take). Its a sickness, but a FUN sickness, lol. But if I win the lotto, WATCH OUT!!!

 

Well once my last few things come in I''m done for the summer. Next year will be more suspension mods and brakes, and maybe a whipple Its that time of year where my Sundays go to the pool or beach, BBQ's, golf, and the g/f (not necessarily in that order-usually golf comes beore the beach)...All my car care is done at the dealer before I head home...

 

oh and dont mind the fact that i am about to bite the bullett on a yamaha road star warrior. something else for the sickness

 

Hmmmm......I faintly remember while waiting for my 05 to come in thinking that I would do a few mods, paint the hood, maybe a CAI/Tune, different exhaust.

 

Same way here, can't stop me now. The idea of getting an HD tv passed my mind up as soon as I jioned here and started the modding.

 

Was just at Costco, and they have a 32" LCD HDTV for $599!!! I actually have this set, and its VERY nice for the $$$ (though, I paid $899 for it almost 2 years ago. ). Heck, even the 37" version was only $799! Not bad prices considering how much these costed about 5 years ago.
