RE: I might regret this in 30 years
I don't think you should be selling collectible baseball cards for car parts, BUT, everything Yuikio said in that crazy story is 100% true. I spent $1300 on a stupid door lock pump the other day. I was without the car for one day, one lousy day, and as soon as the guy handed me the keys to my car I almost jumped. I didn't even get a performance mod or anything "cool" done to it, it's just that when you know something's different and that everything on that car is now 110% perfect, you just wanna drive the **** out of it. Great feeling. Needless to say the drive home was good, passed some minivans on the freeway. Damn it felt good.

It's like, you get back to the shop you dropped it off at, maybe you just get called into the garage from the waiting room, and your car is sitting there looks exactly the same, but it's different just because you know it's different. You get in the car, and you're already smiling, trying to keep it under control though, trying to be rational, telling yourself "those guys were probably exaggerating, don't get your hopes up, keep a stiff upper lip if it isn't as good as I think it will be, " and the tech guy is telling you what to expect through the window, but you aren't listening. Not at all. You're sliding your hands around the wheel, rubbing the shift ****. He says, "Ok, mr onepoint8, have a good day." You say in your best calm, mannish mechanic voice, "You too. Later." You coast out of the garage extra slow, to underscore the idea that you're playing it cool, if only to yourself. Roll to the street, and it's already clear. No one visible in ...etc..etc...etc.etc....etc....

As time goes by it get a little old. But its still fun. Your frontrak, so once you floor it around 5k your tires will break loose under acceration in 1st. The first time it happens you will be stoked. I have a frontrak a4 aswell and i have gotten bit by the mod bug. I almost have spent more $$ on my car than i have put miles on in one year. If i sell my exhaust would you be interested full turbo back milltek, techtonic tuning DP, and 3" labree testpipe, or i could trade you for some baseball cards
