Hello, my name is Steve and I am addicted to my car!
And more so, I think I am addicted to modifying it. Every time I do something to it, I think I will be happy for a while but then I just get on line and order the next thing.
I have just fitted a hood scoop and I wasn't happy until the hood stripe was back on. When I picked it up from the graphics people I was happy for a while but on the way home, I stated thinking about the spoiler I have ordered and as soon as I got home I sent an email chasing up a ETA.
When I picked it up from the body shop after having the scoop fitted, the grill painted gloss black and the bonnet and wings completely re-painted due to stone chips, we were discussing what next.
I have arrange to have all the stripes removed and done by another firm because I am not fully happy with them.
I even ordered a bloody gear nob. This is after laughing at others because there is nothing wrong with the standard gear nob but then I saw the one online that is comp orange with the SAME black stripe as my car....its not that I NEED it, I just NEED it!
I want to change the wheels, dress up the engine bay, make it go faster, corner better.
I want to clean it....even when its not dirty. Hell, I go outside just to look at it.
I can do 250 miles on a business trip and when I get home and my boy says "Dad, can you drop my down my friends" I say YES, and we go the long way.
I think about it all the time, I talk about it every day.
They say that when you have an addiction you should talk to others about it but you guys just make it worse, putting all your silly pictures up and saying what you did with your S550 today.
Then I look at the delivery thread that I started up and I see all these people going through what I did to wait for their car and I think, are they going to have the same problem? or is it just me.
When I post pictures of my car and say what I have done to it, am I encouraging their addiction?
I said to my Mrs before I brought the car "Honey, its 35K, its family saloon money. And its economical....for a V8 But I didn't tell her about the 1k per month I would spend modifying it....because I didn't know!
Ooo, must go, I have a delivery. It may be my gear nob! Yes, yes yes, I will go straight out and fit it if it is. Then its just the rear spoiler to come and the stripes to have re-fitted and then..............
