The shit I tell my wife .... Se thinks most of the mods are for "safety". She believes my tuner does most of the work free because I am on his web site. She thinks I am contractually obligated to go to the track. She thinks the car is total lemon, everything breaks, because after all, who would rip out perfectly good parts and pay good money for different ones. Lol.
