Good luck man. I have no cure for you.......LOL..

I am going on a shopping spree myself. New IC and Pully (finally). Winter is for modding since I can't drive in Winter. Works out great, don't miss the car while it's being worked on and she will be ready for opening day at the track.
Everyone at the track will be "HOLY CRAP"... Whatdya do over the Winter...

It's not like we can say that you are all alone in this... LOL..

I think most of the E55 owners have the sickness.. and if they dont, it must be an airborne virus because it seems to be an easy thing to catch..

Chris already buzzed me and you will be taken care of!

I'd like to link up with you sometime before you do the cams; I'm interested in having Chris do the K2, LSD & I/C... maybe the TB kit too & would like to check your car out to get a real idea of what it all does.

Funny, my wife asked me that years ago when I casually started modding with "the wrong crowd"

I think back now on what my life could have been before I took my first mod.

It was so long ago, but I still can remember the feeling it gave me. Basically every mod now is just an attempt to get that first mod high. Now that I'm over the edge, I am afraid there is really no turning back. I surf the net long into the night...sometimes get on Google Germany hoping to find a secret mod or two on the internet. Sleezy motels, the deception, the constant "THIS is the last one" to the wife.

Now basically my sig says it all.

Yeah...my wife tells me this is the last one whenever she buys a Gucci or Louis bag...$1500 to $3500 a pop for a bag?!? A small clutch purse to hold her makeup for $600?!? I just roll my eyes and tell her, "...sure honey...last bag...right."

At least I can drive my car around...she may use her purse(s) 10 to 15 times a year...if that much. I've gotten to the point where I don't tell my wife any mod I do to the car...I just do it...its a waste of breath trying to justify it anyway. I'll be "over the edge" as long as it doesn't get in the way of taking car of my family and business. At this point...it is just fun...the process...the integration of parts...the final product...the visceral feeling when I hammer it!

PS...this is the only car that I have ever considered owning for my entire life...its ridiculously FAST...comfortable...and tame when it needs to be boulevard cruiser. Sure...I want an exotic and I still might get one but this baby and its transformation has gotten personal.

LOL. I had that same conversation with my wife after my last mod, then I saw Victor's new pulley!

Just don't tell us how well the new heads work, okay?

It's not a terminal illness unless the significant other decides to do away with us. This sickness has affected us all. We are all doomed. May god help us.
