Are you kidding me? I just had my shop owner call me 15 minutes ago telling me how his mechanic is crying bout where to start with the headers... so I guess that just bumped up my labor costs a notch  
What makes matters worst, I have a closing on a lake-front condo in 2 weeks. How am I going to do it... ask me in 2 weeks  .
Got coke?

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Woohoo, I'm just over the $3K mark in mods for SZ! I've also been in/under/on the car pretty much every night and weekend for the past 2 weeks and I've still got a ton of stuff to do/install this weekend. On the upside it does look like pretty much everything I wanted to do before SZ will be done.

haha ... where's that post where you listed your total mods? Time to revise (and add on to) the list? 
Dude, I just re-added some stuff and I've popped over $40K including the $13K purchase price.
I think I'm actually close to being finally done with the car. It's time to get it running well this last time and start enjoying it. 4 years of project and only about 3K miles put on it in those years.

Same here. But every night someone comes over for work on their car, motorcycle or my fiancee has me off to f'ing Lowes or whatever to buy plants, this that and other "homely" sh!t. What have I done to myself?
