My mods cost 2x as much!!

Anyone else have the same problem???

I have a fiancé that gets jealous of $$ spent on my new camaro. Consequently, after every mod, I need to spend a comparable amount on a present for her. Every time I have a new mod I find I need to double my budget and save up!!! Damn expensive!

Hmm I'm sure you will get plenty of great advice from the rest of us on here... I suggest mods that she can't hear or see, like bushings or sway bars....nitrous?

From a girl's standpoint... if this is actually a SERIOUS thread... then

Does she buy you something every time she buys a new purse, shoes, hair stuff-- whatever her thing is? She should let you have your hobby. I don't ask my boyfriend for anything but time and affection-- and I encourage him to spend money on his Camaro. She should do the same for you...

I have a similar problem. My Chevelle gets jealous of the Camaro, and then I have to spend a grip o' cash, and spend some quality time with it to satisfy it's needs.

Then again, I'm even more into Camaros than my guy is, so I may not be the best girl to give you advice

Regardless-- she sounds pretty materialistic. Next time she buys herself a new outfit, ask her where your gift is, because you're jealous of her clothes and the money she spends on them.

Have I said lately how much I love Camaro Girls!!!

I bought Technostalgia taillights for mine several weeks ago, then I shelled out $3,000 for a remount of the wife's diamonds (not new diamonds, just the mount). I'm writing that off since next month is our 25th anniversary...

...we'll have to see if all I get for our 25th is taillights...or maybe a blower (supercharger that is)!!!
