During the holiday break, I was able to get my mind off of work, and, for the first time in a while, think about my car. Which I love, and have modified very slightly to my taste. Cobb Stage 2, Ford Motorsport wheels, a few other toys. But now that I wasn't concentrating on work, suddenly I needed to do a bunch of things to my car. Needs new wheels... searching the web for different wheel styles. Which ones do I want.. how much could I sell my wheels for? Need a downpipe and a catback. Yeah, I know I wasn't going to do it, I'll need to get the car smogged in CA eventually, but who cares.. I need it. And stripes. What kind of stripes would look good on my car? Ooh, how about dark blue to go against the white paint?
I didn't buy anything. There was a guy on Craig's listing a Cobb catback, but said he sold it already and didn't take down the post. Close as I got. Now that I'm back to the grind, guess what? The car is fine as it sits. I like the wheels, why did I want to change them again? Stripes? Cripes I'm almost 50. Do I want every kid in a Civic on my butt? Downpipe? What was I thinking?
Very strange... I don't know if the holidays just make us want to spend a lot of money. I did it last year, and got all of my stage 2 stuff and wheels. Only thing I still might want to get from my holiday mental binge is a powered subwoofer, but I probably won't do that either.
Till next Christmas, of course.
