Default I need to stop spending money.

Since Sunday I've been dropping mad amounts of cash on my car. Granted its all for necessary replacement parts since I haven't been able to drive her since Saturday. I'm starting to think I need a 12 step program to keep me from buying more car parts until the ones I've already ordered have shown up. So far I've order 5 different things which all total up to almost $800.[:@]

I think I have to stop now while I'm ahead, even though I know I have a ton of stuff I still need to get.


And guys think women enjoy spending money on just shoes and purses....

Here's everything I bought and the prices

Megan 4-2-1 header $139.96
Megan drift spec exhaust $367.96
Magnaflow direct fit catalytic converter $120.99
o2 sensor extender from passwordjdm $ 29.99
Energy hyper-flex complete poly bushing kit $ 92.00
--------
$750.00

ok so not quite $800 but close enough.

My exhaust took a mjor **** on Saturday so I figured it was time to bite the bullett and change up the entire exhaust. The Energy bushings were something I've been looking into getting for a while and I found them for about half ($75 + $15 s/h) of what they go for on Summit ($145 + S/H) so I jumped at the chance. My LCA bushings are shot as it is.

Girl, that ain't no necessary replacement parts I don't see a single part on there that couldn't have been avoided/saved on by not buying aftermarket...

haha even though I'm a woman I'm sensitive about my car not having "*****". Yes, I am saving on mpg's by not modding my engine but I don't know... There's something about having some decent performance parts on my baby that makes a girl feel good. I know I could have cheaped out and gone oem with the replacement stuff but I wouldn't have felt satisfied with that. I guess I figure if it needs to be replaced it might as well be with something good (not that stock Honda parts aren't good).

Its true, I have succumbed to the "modifying bug".[]

I wish motorcycle parts where that cheap. I'd kill for a $500 full exhaust for my bike. Its more like $1100.
