Post AHHH this Lightning will be the end of me! When will the mods stop!

LOL I swore I would slow down on the mods, but at 1000 miles I ordered a 12 inch S&B filter and billet adapter. At 1500 miles I installed a magnaflow 12468 muffler. And now at 1600 miles I just put my order in for Belltech shackles and a chip. Only one person to blame for this, and you know who you are! ::cough:: Lightninforce ::cough:: you devil you

You can reach the devil himself at UNI4MONEY@aol.com lol

Sorry for the rant, but I'm excited. It's like Christmas day when that brown slay comes to the door with that package

An early Merry Modding and a happy burnout

I told myself the same thing when I got rid of my modded out '99 Cobra. It's already filtered and the chip should be here Friday and I don't even have 900 miles on it!

First one to $50,000 wins, right?

I've tried to stop several times but I'm addicted. No way cold turkey works. They need to come up with a patch or something for us.

I think you have to get rid of the truck or run out of money before it stops.

So, Rick....

How many mods do you currently have going on at the same time?

We'd need the 12" x 12" patches for sure...

Well lets see in progress currently, shift kit and pan, 01 lights, seat conversion, herb washers, cowl hood and related air to the filter mod, another 1" drop in the back, exhaust tips and switch to a 12468 magnaflow, 90MM MAS. Might be an electric fan kit in there somewhere.... That doesn't include the stuff I've already done that is listed on my mods page.

Looks like I need a blanket instead of a patch.

The only thing that slows me doen is parts availability and the time to do the installs. Do we need a twelve step program?
