Please Help Me Stop...

... I have a problem. I NEED MY LIFE BACK!

Blower is finally back from having the bearings upgraded at Magnuson. I also had a local guy drill a few more holes in the case so I can mate it to the 01 midplate I painted. Painted the lower manifold and midplate with black POR15 engine enamel. There are alot of new scratches I will have to buff out now due to all the traveling the blower has done in the last month. The custom 2lb upper billet pulley is now installed and looks great. I also had a friend find me some sc nose bolts I could polish to finish off the front. All the bolts are going out soon to be ceramic coated, then I will be installing the whole unit in the truck

Got the polished/painted door sills installed, just have to wait for the steering wheel now to complete the interior.

I see the captain is in denial, one of the first stages of Mod feaver.

Tampa, although you say you need help, do you really want it?

Me, yes, I am a mod addict. I would love to have my blower look like that.

Jealous is more like it, way to many money sucking things going on and all I can afford to give the L is gas


Vinnie and Tampa are the ones who need the 12 step program for modding

The Mod Bug has a visious bite. My wife is complaining that she feels like she's been cast aside over a truck. She tells the kids their dad is having an affair with a truck and a computer, (time I spend on F150 Online). Ohhh weelllll, she'll get over it. LMAO

You can always get another wife, but god knows when
owning a Lightning will be more exciting than right now

BTW
My Kid say's I Love my L more than him
I keep telling him, ya but it's a diff kind of Love
Go Tampa Go, IT LOOKS AMAZING, you only live once,
I've already excepted the fact I will work til the day I die,
I will be eating dog food, I will be living in trailer somewhere, and my son will be paying his own way through college.

Decades of pissing money away on cars has assured that.
There's no turning back at my age, and no way to fix my
non existing retirement fund, so I can only hope and pray the
Cars continue to get faster as I get older. Man I can't wait to see the expression on some punk *** kids face in 35 years when some 80 yr old man is blowing his doors off in a Gen XV Lightning

I was in the same boat for pretty much the same reason. My solution, marry an attractive girl 13 years younger than me. That way I can quit working while she still does. Hey somebody's got to pay for gas in the L.
