I showed the video to my wife, and she LOL'd, saying, "Look at that guy! He can't stop touching his car, can he?"

it is a bit of an addiction!
Strangely, it only seems to get me when I'm out and about within site of my car. Even at the office parking lot, I can't seem to stop finding things on her to clean.

I have some friends who make custom aero. I came to them with my own trace, they did the rest. It was made on the spot out of an aluminum composite sheet, specifically for my car, so right now, its a one of a kind

Is this the Z-Splitter guy that seemed all the rage at the VQ|North meet?

That looks pretty good, hexotic.

Uh, oh, does look pretty sweet though, and you'd have to polish those darker wheels even more often, lol.

haha! True, those wheels would need more care!

I may go and take a test drive, but I know I'm not serious about it. I like not having a car payment too much!

Test drive it. Get it out of your system... Or give in and commit. There is no wrong advice, really.

No wait. Good advice would be to avoid large decisions motivated by big emotional moments. Live in the moment, but make decisions outside it.

I imagine it takes its toll on the wheel bearings, too.

I enjoy perusing the Toy Barn website. Report back if the store is as neat as the website.

I can vouch for their show space, it's amazingly loaded with cars I can only dream of affording! Earlier this year, there was an Aventador that I was drooling over! I used to visit them on lunch breaks just before getting my G. The salesmen are all great car enthusiasts and treat you like family.
