It's funny you say you'll never put that much money into a car again....simply because it is a catch-22, it always seems to be the smarter/prudent move to buy a car someone else has dumped their money into, and let them take the loss. The flip side, is...unless you know the person well, who did the work, what parts were used (hence the list I guess), it seems dicey and potentially expensive/troublesome to buy a car like that vs. doing it all yourself so you know "what's what". Can't win for losing! I'd keep it too probably, if I were in your shoes!

I appreciate everyone's explanations, and humorous replies in return!
Don't get me wrong I like your post / thread Hence the jester.

Conversely, EVERY auto forum I have ever visited, many guys (most, even?) have this loooooong list of things installed on their vehicles. Like it's some kind of badge of honor, or p----- extension, or something.

Anyway....women don't seem to ever do this either. What's up with you guys and your list of mods in your signatures? Is it bragging rights? You've installed SO many things, you're afraid you'll lose track? It's the only place to store such information because you threw out the receipts so the wife wouldn't find them? Is it to impress the few females that show up on these forums? Anyway....being a gal, I find it kind of funny, or weird, or maybe both! LOL

No offense intended of course
I believe it all started with people asking for help and every first reply asking what is done to the car, from then it went on to post 1/4 times and such.
I never posted a full list of mods, if someone wants to know more info they can ask me, but I am very proud of my runs and post them all over the place.
Worked hard on the car

pretty sure it has ZERO to do with females at all.
That sounds like a bit of a far reach.

Didn't think of it till today, this is one of the sites that doesn't allow a sig pic.
If sig pics were allowed, maybe the " sig mod lists " would be shorter...or not !

haha, the unfortunate thing of sig pics is the pages get very long and slow down with all the extra graphics. I'm a member on the svt performance site and that's common over there.

That's never been a problem for me on other properly managed sites where they have a sig picture size requirement
