AND YOU THOUGHT A DRUG ADDITION IS BAD....

This might just be the most problematic car I have ever owned. I stay up all night looking on the internet for parts and new mods. I follow up reply to any of my wife's conversations with "look at this body kit...." My hours get cut at work because I guess they figure since I have the car I don't need the work, lol, (which might really be the only real problem). BUT...

All kidding aside, the worse happen the other night. I was lying in bed about 3am and the only thing I could think about was top down cruising around in the Cab. So..... I got out of bed and next thing I know I'm on the highway, top down (in 58degree weather), driving around without a soul on the road but me, my pcar, .....and the occasional DPS, lol).

This has got to stop, I think its getting out of hand. Do they any kind of therapy for situations like these.......

I just bought a locking car cover for it, figure maybe the extra effort will help reduce the chance of recidivism.....

It goes away with time. After a few years you just enjoy having a Porsche.

I think if you switch cars every few years you can get the same feeling.

Sorry to hear that. Was she insured? If applicable, make sure you get compensated for diminished value as well.

Yes,but her isurance card was expired and she did not have her DL with her. So a quick cal to 911 to get the police out there.
I have to wait for the car to be repaired before I can go after diminished value. I have two appraisers names and numbers to call once I get my car back. Down side is that I have need told it will be $200-$500 out of my pocket first. Her insurance company has been ****** at times to deal with. Some nasty BS form letters that just make you want to go hirer a lawyer. Still might go that route.
I might get my car back before the weekend. We shall see.

Ya, but you are never home either? You travel a lot correct?

I hope to hear some good news tomorrow.
