Default Drinking the Kool-aid

Ok Rennlist, you win. Forum posts have me convinced that my car (2000 C2 Cab Tip) is going to bleve at any moment, so I'm having the IMS, RMS, and some other stuff upgraded next week. I didn't realize that my membership was going to be so costly.

"I didnt realize NOT knowing was going to be so costly"
I had mine slated for surgery the day I got the call and sold it. I could no longer live in fear... but never managed to get the job done before it went bye-bye

There are usually two ways you quickly depart with your money on this forum.

1. irrational fear drives you to do what some would term "preventative" work.

2. mods become all you can think about.

Bill's good people, but be careful. He'll have you out at the track before you know it.

I love to pull into his shop just to look at what's in the lot.

3. You sell your perfectly good fully modded preventatively maintained p-car only to wind up buying a bone stock turbo or gt3 and start all over again
