now, if i truly was a dude, like most of you here, i would not feel guilty about spending the money i make as long as your bills are covered and you can afford to do so
btw...i'm getting an induction system this weekend. hahaha! and, i didn't have to say that i'm getting an oil change! =D

That's too funny!
BTW Blood Diamond is a great from CZ replacements. Bling is overrated BS, especially when it's a rock or metal. Give me (and her) a watch anytime.

Best thing is if you own the company. Then you can do some things if you are very careful and keep the cash flow WAY ahead of the project. I am in the middle of building a 996 GT2 "RSR". Already completed a 100K engine package over 800WHP at 8100RPM, fully regeared transmission at 18K, a 48K suspension using 997 RSR parts from uprights out incl centerlocks,997 RSR brakes, etc, 27K in carbon kevlar body mods from DP Motorsport in Germany, 12K in 997 RSR monoblock wheels w/ 295/30-18 Mich PS Cups fr and 345/30-18 Mich PS Cups rr, and another 13k of misc stuff. Took 5 months to build and very carefully cash flowed the deal. Just need to be super careful on how you set up the perception of what you are doing!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to al you other project guys!!!

wross...beautiful tt cab you have!!!! Where did you get the CF airbox?? You are probably right...I am sick...to build this thing, and believe it or not, it started out at about 20K of basic mods!!! That really makes it sick! Anyway, it has been a great deal of fun. We are starting a similar project in January using a Cayman. We are going to replicate this engine and then go crazy with the rest of the car and try to build a true mid engine supercar.

When she hears the exhaust, I'll just tell her it's the new oil thats causing the different noise. Honestly with all respect to my wife, she would believe me, she doesn't care a rat's as* about cars!

I had a few seconds to explain that the TT had a road noise reduction system similar to the Bose Headsets that they market in TV in it and I pretended to flip one the unpopulated oval switches on the center dash right at the transition. The noise went quiet and she looked at me and said, “Why don’t you leave it on all the time?†Good come back and I had nothing to say.

As I am the one who brings home the bacon, don't need to justify any spending that I do, whether it is on the car or when I go out. I have already got 2 modified cars and this is my third project. She enjoys the ride anyway and has no idea on how much a part costs or what it does.

Hows the weather?
