I feel your pain. I too share this addiction...

I had a 92 Prelude Si. Great lil car.. first car, bought it myself. Was the curvy style with pearl blue paint.. one of the nicest at my HS. I read about the magical VTEC and 12sec integras... then one fine day... a friend.. a TRUE friend showed me the light.

1969 GTO.. 400bb w/ a 4s. It was nearly stock.. but even on the ride home in the 'lude i couldnt wipe the grin off my face. I had already been at Jerico for over a year... a honda is not a car of choice in this bidness.

The old man bought the honda for me, for the younger sister. I purchased a 94 z28 m6. All black... previous owner was a 50yr old woman.. I knew her from work.. all she had was a moroso CAI, accel coil and t/a 5spoke wheels on it.

Scheming and spending... thats how i waste away the days... I want 9's .. at least nines. I try not to spend $$$$$... and time on it.. but.. i cannot help it. Everytime i fire up the car.. and ppl stare at it while it sits, camming and shaking.. sounding like the devil and his minions were clawing their way out the 4" exhaust... I smile.

I sympathize with you, and feel TRULY sorry for those who dont understand the obsession.

The car in its present state...
