and then his e92 track car turned into a 991 GT3

LOL bone stock with all season tires FTW!

(well i did have black kidney grills and reflectors to help with that DOWNFORCE).

yes now track wheels, extra tires all around my home, box full of fluids, oils, pads.....hope my addiction doesn't get me to bankrupt status.

You know its bad when you start to find creative ways to hide your wheels/tires that dont fit into garage/storage such as covers that look like furniture. That and trying to your significant other that buying tools is an "investment".

lol. i have some in my blacony at the moment covered in cardboard lol. have a set in my guest room closet as well

wife actually wants me to buy power tools now so i dont take as long / spend so much time in the garage

i live in a complex so when i do work on my car in the garage everyone thinks im some low class mechanic or sell tires or something. they prob think how does that guy afford to live here or that car doing that shit?

Caution again though...tracking can be very addicting! A friend invited me a couple of years to a track with my new E92M DD. Since then it is no longer a DD (BBK, full aero, rear seat delete, half cage, rims/tires, Recaro seats with 6-point harness, suspension, etc.). Funny thing is before tracking all I wanted were painted front bumper side markers and spacers for the show car look. Hahaha!

Have a great time OP!
