How do you guys do it? Keep buying/trading used mods or new ones? That's a lot of dough and time to be wasted.

If I didn't spend money on this car like I do, I wouldn't need to work. And if I didn't work, what would I do - I wouldn't have a car?

Have any of you asked yourself why??? I think the answer is really that we all enjoy the FEELING of getting something new. It is the "looking forward to getting it part". "Waitinig for IT to arrive" Not really the "getting the new item part" When the anticipation part is gone we need to have that "FEELING" all over again.

My wife is constantly asking me "when will you be happy" "why do you need this or that again??" "aren't you happy with the one you just got??" My answer is YES but I need _______ "

I guess what I am after is that "FEELING" all over again.

Can't someone just make / sell that "FEELING" ?????

It sure would be alot cheaper and a whole lot less time spent!!



Also would mean that all of us would have a whole lot less extra parts laying around


OR maybe I just have a crush on the UPS guy


NOT!!!!!

This morning on the radio they said a study at Harvard has shown that a perfect marriage is like adding $100K to your annual income.

Sex one a week instead of once a month is like getting a $50K raise.

I'm thinking that if I can get sex twice a day, I can afford this car!

Andreas comments are so right on the money !! It's that feeling of anticipation and arrival of the new part!. Once you have it, it starts all over again!! I started to laugh out loud by myself reading his response, esp. the wife comments. I have been trying to stop modding and have tried to stay away from this site but have failed miserably many times. Oh what the hell, just keep modding!! TC
