No mods yet...the problem that I'm having is finding a good shop that I feel are competent to take care of most my needs. Either that and/or refer me to someone that can do what they can't do. There are so many shops around Los Angeles and I definitely don't want anybody on my car. In the past I've had bad experiences with my wheels etc. Not only that but there's a lot I want to do and can't make up my mind what to do first! 
I want to get a pulley but not sure which is best. I've read about the LET pulley, Evotech and some others but not sure what the cons are once the pulley is added. Most folks on the forum brag about how good the pulleys are but I'm sure there are some "issues" that could or may have came about....I don't know....how about you? What are your plans?

We can't really afford to shell out big bucks for an all inclusive trip like we usually do (Thanks to my modding habits 
) Not only that but flying and traveling right now with so much going on in the world doesn't really sound too exciting to me. So yeah that a bit of pampering at this place called Burke Williams. You know...the couples massage and facials....a little bit of everything! I can't wait...need a break from work 
Oh yeah and Downtown Disney....that's were it all started...

if someone has got to save in order to buy luxury and depreciating items e.g. AMGs, that means he can't afford it..
i bought the 2006 SL55 and 2008 CL500 in cash and that's probably 1% of my cash.. that's what i will call it 'normal'.. if one has to worry about payments etc... i mean why bother driving AMGs..? a C200 or 325i will do fine too...
but it just amuses me when seeing people with jobs as middle level managers or even lower (e.g. engineers) driving AMGs... that does not even match with their positions ... don't u guys afraid your bosses will get pissed or something?
