Ignorance is bliss, and a lot cheaper!!

Help -- I love my new G37 so much I can't quit spending money on it!!

Thanks in part to the knowledge I've gained by reading these boards, here's the damage:

ClearBra - $495
6 PureOne oil filters - $37
Enough oil for my first 6 changes - $140
5 Wix cabin air filters + 10 Wix engine air filters - $142
Leather Master care kit - $57
PoorBoys Leather Stuff - $34
2 bottles of Folex carpet cleaner - $20
2 bottles of DP Waterless Wash - $47
Microfiber towels - $7
Custom Covercraft sunscreen/heatshield for G37 - $45
The Club LX - $39
Large folding umbrella - $21
GG Bailey brown front floor mats - $100

That's $1184 in goodies. Am I insane? Please tell me I'm not the only one afflicted with this condition.

only $7 on MF towels? make sure they are high quality...not saying there aren't deals out there but if you are buying MF towels at Autozone that's a foul

I've already spent over $8k in wheels and tires alone (), plus too many other things to even remember.... You're ok, and not alone.

Yeah, I am in the planning stages right now, and figuring out what to do in which stage, but I have over 10k in work planned, depending on what wheels/tires and audio I go with, not counting the turbo if I ever get there.

Stillen stage 3 intake

Stillen Headers

Stillen cat back

Coilovers and associated other stuff (camber kits, swaybars, etc.)

Wheels and tires

Amp, speakers, woofer

Maybe add in the navigation

New floormats

Chin spoiler

Maybe some head and tail light work

In a few years, after more have done it and I can decide if the AWD and 7AT can handle all the HP, I might put on a turbo.

Thinking about having black carpet put in when they do the audio (I have the grey/black/aluminum interior, and I think black carpet and floormats might really set it off.

Accent lighting

Already had the tint done

That's all I have planned for now.

I'm saving the chrome wheels and the midnight black grille and the amp/sub upgrade for the 30K mile mark when I'll be ready for a refresh.

I agree... For the types of things purchased, that is a good amount of money. When/if you start modding, you will probably look back at this number and chuckle...

On a sidenote, people still buy The Club?
