The addiction starts - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

camarofanatic · 08-15-2012, 02:39 AM

I've owned my 2lt rs for about 2 and a half years now. Ive been pretty busy with starting my career and preparing for marriage. However my fiance left
Me. We were supposed to get married in October. Anyhow I filled my time with work and decided to take more of an interest in my camaro to keep
My mind off of everything going on. So I started modding and joined the local
Camaro club

The first thing I did was add a full cat back magnaflow exhaust.
Then I started to dress my engine bay up painting the cover and fuse box and buying some billet covers. Then the intake came. I can't stop I constantly find my self searching the internet for accessories and parts.
How do you guys feed the addiction?

How do you feed the addiction? You can't. You just have to keep buying

camarofanatic · 08-15-2012, 02:48 AM

Lol. I do that's the issue. I just bought a zl1 splitter from RPI designs and bowtie emblem that goes under the engine
Hood. Now I'm at working looking
At AAC halo fog light kits, headers, throttle bodies, supercharger/ turbos it doesnt end haha

Sounds like you have it all planned out. As long as the money is there, go for it. But if you have to save for the wedding and for your fiance then...

Sorry OP hope all works out for you for the better

My Camaro was my divorce gift to myself, and she really is the perfect rebound chick! Good luck OP, Camaro makes a wonderful bride!

Garret · 08-15-2012, 03:43 AM

not really an addiction if you ask me, Yes I do believe the camaro is by far one of the best of the lot body styles around currently, but it needs some work aswell interior is dull some, black accent pieces>existing chrome pieces, gold bowties r a no go unless the car is gold. So its not an addiction its customization the addiction is where people spend 6k on a supercharger and then turn around and replace it with a 8k supercharger :P

ActNup NY · 08-15-2012, 03:43 AM

Sorry for your lost man. Hope things get better.

Being a woman, I am allowed to say this: a Camaro is the only woman you will ever need!

That being said, the addictions suck but are totally worth it.

My Ex always wanted a Camaro so when she moved back to N.C. out of the blue I went and bought my SS. lol

dkp2LT · 08-15-2012, 11:52 AM

OP - Sorry about the break up.

When our daughter broke up w/ her fiance a few years back, my wife & I figured out we didn't have to pay for a wedding so we built a nice pool w/ a little water fall. Too bad it was during the Camaro black out period...

orangejuice · 08-15-2012, 12:04 PM

Right before I moved in with my ex, I found out she was banging her ex for the past couple months. Thank god I didn't make that jump. OP, focus your energy on your Camaro, she'll never let ya down

Detail the car, then go out and meet Miss Right Now, as opposed to Miss Right.

The camaro is a gf I don't mind spending money on when she asks

.

My addiction just started a couple nights ago and it didn't start lightly either. I order ACC concept mirrors AND sidemarkers, and also CAI's cold air intake. Not cheap at all :/

You can't really feed the addiction though. You just find ways to keep it satisfied long enough for your bank account to recover

Keep calm and mod on brotha

Z4me · 08-25-2012, 07:59 PM

Hopefully you will find the right woman for you and your new addiction. I
count myself lucky that I have both the car and my soul mate, oh and my
mod addiction started a few weeks ago at camarofest.

Hope everythings works out well for you.

tonyko1 · 08-26-2012, 01:31 AM

My GF was so mad when I bought my Vert. It was the final straw for her.......I bought it anyways. She wanted me to buy something practical.....even though I do have a Subaru Outback AWD for my DD.

Oh well, blondes will be that way sometimes. I do miss her but life goes on. And so does my Vert...

Beats paying a therapist to hear your problems.
