Default I need to be stopped!

I have fallen off the slippery slope!
First it was the 18 twists. Then the fd stage 2 now bilsteins an h&rs. I ordered a chip to see if its a real enhancement. I picked up some Hoosiers for my 17"s I am currently considering a set of bbs lm wheels.
Tomorrow I am getting my bumperette delete done! Please stop me!

sorry, there is no known cure.

The good news, your support group is just a click away.

Of course, we are also enablers of the highest order.

Hi, my name is Joe...and I'm a mod-aholic.

If you need to be stopped, may I suggest a Big Red Brake conversion?

If I got the big reds then I need a supercharger or a 3.8 to justify the stopping power.
Joe I got the stickers!
Thanks

By the time you realize you have a problem it's too late. Just open your wallet and give in peacefully. It's easier to not fight it.

Signed the guy who has not two but 3 sets of CL wheels for his RS. Oh I also have 3 sets of wheels for my 993 and 2 sets of wheels for my Range Rover. For some reason my wife thinks I like wheels?

A 3.8 is so '90s.... 4.0 is the way to go!

hmmm, where does an alcoholic go for help:
a. Alcoholic Anonymous
b. a bar

You came here. The online equivalent of a social venue for lively discussion of various topics...in other words, the Porsche-a-holics bar. And you expect us to say "Stop"?

You need a ride in my Rothsport regeared w/ LSD, new top end and Rennsport chip'd rig to really push you end over end down the slope. You'll never look at your car the same again : )

Is 5 sets of wheels for two cars a lot? In what universe? I'm down to 47 wheels/tires between two cars. Used to be 53, I got rid of some.

Stop you? You are just getting warmed up my friend. I have a second engine for mine, I just dropped the tranny for a regear, and that is just the beginning.
