I agree with just selling the car. It seems everytime I get in it, I find something else to work on, correct, change, or dont like it anymore. Finally, stay off the CL! :-)

Just pay cash for everything, burn the credit cards!

I'm pretty sure that's on the "what not to do" list for any man with half a brain LOL
to the op, the mod bug is like Herpes, the symptoms may disappear for a while, then it will come to bite again some day hahahah Seriously, once u start modding a car, you wont stop till you crash or sell the car!! But wait, it wont be over, you will buy another car, you may leave it stock for a while till that one day you open the hood, and ideas will rush to your freakin' brain, and there it goes again....

Install one of those shocker things so whenever you feel like modding, press a button!

I kicked the mod addiction by getting laid off from work.

Sell/trade a paper clip and sooner or later you'll have a house or a GTE motor.

For me I only buy stuff with money from sales so it kind of evens out.

distraction is a powerful tool. buy a cheap used instrument and join its forum and learn some Beethoven or Bach. im a musician piano is hard a hell but definitely gets the mind of things.

Yeah it would seem so but my gf and her family has money so she doesn't need to use my credit cards lol. She just won't give me any to mod my car though.
