Default Is buying stuff for your Vette a sickness?

Okay in the last 2 weeks I ordered the insulation kit from Crazy Cowboy, I ordered the Elite pedals from Son of Dreams, and now I just ordered the Lloyd's mats from Southerncarparts. The car is sitting in the garage covered up for the winter and I have spent more money this week than I should have. I see all the posts with the mods that you guys do, and since I bought the car in September I have spent almost $1500 on "accessories" and I still feel like my car is 100% stock. So am I sick?

oh probably.....

And if you spent "more than you should have..." just cool it. Back away from the A) phone, B) secured payment site, C) the credit card.....

You're sick. So far there is no cure. And the efforts for finding a cure have ceased.

Not yet sick, more like one sneeze or sniffle.

Some of us are very ill; multiple tens of thousands of dollars sick.

Think of this place as Group Therapy. We all have that affliction. Trust me. Just be grateful you aren't infected with BRD as well, like I am.

You haven't even developed a fever yet. It can get worse, much worse.
