I was looking around on American muscle and was thinking of what I could get to give my interior more class/old school style. So what the heck did I do, I ordered all the billet interior stuff excluding the E-brake and the blinker cover. The sad part is I pulled up a few pics of the 1969-1970 stangs interior and tried to match the parts that where chrome on those. I can’t stop spending money on my car. I swear after I get some paintwork done in the spring I will be done for this year. Though I might get long tubes and blower cams…. wait……no.. I’m going to be good, I’m going to save this year and buy a super charger next year. Ahhhhhhhhhh I’m 24 and have too much gray hair already. Why do I stress over what I’m going to buy next lol.

just save for legitimate performance mods, hard not to keep enjoying those long after you've replaced the money you've spent

Yup, some small mods this year then the big one next year. The problem is there is no small performance mods left for me. My goal is to put down close to 400 rwhp next spring. How is your build coming?

That sucks, I hope it all works out. Actually one thing I do need to get this year is a daily driver. I love driving the stang but if I go to a bar, mall, moves, casino, concerts or what have you I don't like bringing the stang, I always think someone is going to do something to it. I was looking at 99-05 v6 Hyundai Sonatas. I found a few for under 4k. The nice thing is my stang will be paid off next month.

That's what happens when you own a mustang, our cars are like lego.. but each brick costs money, and all the bricks dont come nicely packaged in a blue bin, you gotta buy them all separate

You may have a disease called.... M.O.D.S.

(Mustang obsession disorder syndrom)

Some of the symptoms are....

1. If you dont have a new mod ready to install or on order you go into withdrawal.
2. You sometimes stare at your car for no apparant reason other than thinking
about your next mod and how to pay for it.
3. You are never satisfied with your car, thinking it needs more power.

These are only a few of the signs of this disease first discovered in 1965.

You are another victim of M.O.D.S. Soon you will spend your last dollar
on a Kenny Bell.... if you dont seek help.
