Hello, my name is Space Ghost.......

and I am a mod-alcoholic....

Every time I say I'm done I just want something else. I have parts I havent even installed yet and I keep buying more. I'm sick and need help.

Here's some parts sitting around, some are at AutoCouture and some are in route to me. Got a little crazy this year. I will post up pics of the car when it gets back from AutoCouture in a couple of weeks.

Well, the VT-1, brakes and coils will be done next week at AutoCouture. Dropping the car off tomorrow. I was going to do the install myself but, with the free install deal that ESS ran (and lack of a garage) it just made sense to have them do it. I'll do the rest as it arrives.

Totally hear you about being a mod-a-holic. Extremely addicting. I did it aggressively for 10 years on my 323i, show car winner, featured in various magazines/newspaper/TV for my heart awareness efforts tied in thru my car (carbon fiber on my car inspired by my partly mechanical heart made of carbon fiber), but now I want to start over again but with a red E92 M3... this time not mod it as aggressively as my 323i.

Modding is great until there comes a point where you decide to sell your car and have to either remove most of the mods (and replace with stock parts) to sell or take the loss and sell the car with the mods. Another reason why I want to mod less with my next car.

Enjoy the mod bug while it lasts.

mod bug is contagious. i have found only way to stop it is to get race bug. unfortunately race bug is 10x more expensive but 100x more exciting. we are all sick. enjoy in good health.
