The cycle of modding a camaro.

Well, I was thinking bout the hardest thing to do pertaining to owning a Camaro and came up with some categories.

Shopping for mods
Waiting for mods to arrive in the mail
Installing the mods
Basking in the glory of your newly installed mods
Back to the internet to look for new mods

I find waiting for the mods in the mail to be the hardest.

Thats the problem with so many of you guys n gals. You make owning a fantastic car hard. Its an awrsome car right outta the box. You should be enjoying every minute in your car. To me, the funnest part is looking for the things rhat might improve the driving experience. Dont make it hard...make it fun!

your first mod should always be the catch-can.

Try having sex occasionally. Avoid drunk blonds who fling themselves out of your Camaro. Sex might temporarily distract you from geek mods.

For me it is buying mods, waiting for mods, procrastinating installing mods, starting the install and wasting days where I can no longer drive car, finish install then bask in all my hard work, start over next day

Sooo true lol. Mine was 1) choosing s/c or cam (took about a week), 2) choosing cam and you tub-ing clils, 3) trying to choose right exhaust note and headers 4) getting prices on labor and tune, 5) bleeding the amex for all parts 6) waiting the week for everything to arrive 7) waiting another week for the install and tune 8) finding someone to race to see where I stand! Lol

Then repeat all over again when we want just a "little" more =)

Waiting for mods to show up the mail is half the fun. Brings me back to the days when I was a wee little 6bangerBOOM and I would send off cereal box tops for hot wheels.
