in my opinion, envy is a wasted emotion. seeing other builds or things i like that someone else has or is doing is motivating and inspiring. envy is just want. you can draw on motivation to get to work. one of the things that people don't get to see on social media platforms is the work involved. i didn't buy my car new, and i didn't start modding it right away. i was busy building and investing. nose to the grind wheel... for the last eleven years. i didn't win the lottery, and this isn't my parent's money. this is eleven years of hard, hard work, discipline, and goal setting. the habits i've built over the last eleven years has led to a feeling of guilt because i've been spending some money on myself. i sold a rental property to downsize and reduce debt (might be having a kid next year). i didn't do anything special- i bought when it made sense, and sold when it made sense. but the discipline in staying the course and staying away from temptation has been key. don't get discouraged, things take time.

one of the things i gave her a heads up on was i was going to be spending a lot of money on "silly things."
like what? another wing. what? *disgust* this one is special though. first thing i bought was a set of diamond earrings though. she doesn't go for expensive stuff, but she put out a hint clear enough for an idiot like me to understand.

Seats are purchased. I initially thought I would get the Recaro Podiums. They were supposed to start shipping this September, but I've been told by several suppliers they are having production issues and delays. The $6k price tag wasn't great, but I could live with it.
I started exploring sparco. They have the QRT-C that weighs 12.5 lbs. awesome. Went and sat in one, and I'm a little too big. My waist fit, but my shoulders felt hunched forward. I'm glad I didn't blindly buy either of these options. I sat in the Evo XL and felt right at home. The carbon version comes out next year, but this will hold me over until it's time to upgrade. Weighs 17 lbs.

A lot of people do that. If you already have an "in" with a charity, even better to help get that marketing base going.
What better way to shake down a new build than 7 days of track time and 3500 road miles...in a week. lol
