Default Piggy back thread: What is the SMARTEST thing you ever purchased for your 928?

Piggy backing off the "what's the dumbest thing you ever purchased for your 928?" thread, I thought it might be fun to see the flip-side responses.

I have "a lot" of things to choose from (in no particular order - except #1):

1. BOOST
2. Swaybar
3. Shocks
4. Wheels Tires
5. New interior
6. Short Shifter
7. X-pipe
8. Stereo
9. Testors Translucent Candy Apple Red Paint
10. Clear corners
11. Diagnostic computer
12. CF hood (oh sorry, that was the dumbest)
12. HID's
13. Keyless entry
14. Active counter measures
15. Door arrestors
16. Door-sill Illumination
17. Aero mirrors
18. Tint
19. Rennlist Membership
20. RMB

That should be enough to get people thinking.

RMB- Whether or not it actually makes it go faster- it SOUNDS a lot faster, and is one of the sensory treats I enjoy every time I drive her. Besides- my wife even thinks it sounds cool!

I just rebuilt my injection harness, it turned out nicely so i guess the materials to build it were a good investment.

Additionally, DR's crossover i put on a year and a half ago really put a smile on my face.

And of course the Fikse FM10's

Doesn't things like "Boost", "Wheels", "x-pipe", etc... fall under the "Funnest" things category?

I tend to think of smart things as being; a fire extinguisher, metric tools, fuel lines, timing belt, fuel pressure gauge, rennlist membership, workshop manuals, headlights, jack stands, .........
