My name is Rusty. I'm a Mod-ict. And I have a Problem

Post by BarthMaul » Mon Oct 01, 2018 7:46 pm

The problem started in 2015 when I bought my 2013 abarth cabrio. I thought what harm could come with a little fun. Then I upgraded the intake. And it felt good. Then I discovered NGEN and it seems that's when I started going downhill. There may have ben 2 weekends in a 6 month period where i was not sitting in his garage. We'd start one upgrade, then "while you're at it" would kick in and I end up upgrading 3 more things I hadn't planned on. After suspension, brakes, tune, coils, exhaust, interior, exterior. The problem just kept getting worse. I was able to stop for a while. Then we did the turbo. Now I'm itching again. Soon comes clutch/flywheel. Then control arms. I'm afraid I might turn to meth injection next.....I think I need help.....

Your ride looks good, even up on the Bendpak wheeless. Keep wanting to get one of those lifts, Looking at the 7K LBS model.

Welcome! I know that garage well.

I once was an addict too, like you. Then I overdosed on mods and had a breakdown.... Ended up in the non-operating room. Should be emerging from rehab soon ... let's see if I can stay "on the wagon"...
