But I do think that there is a pattern: Summer is great, you get your fill every couple of weeks and life is good.
Then winter comes, car gets put away, and the mind starts to wander. You get bored, and spending on mods becomes a way to stay connected. I know, I do it all the time and have experienced it with all my past "hobbies". Hobbies in quotation marks cause I suffer from a light case of OCD; hobbies tend to take over and become obsessions.
But then again, from what I can see on here, I'm not the only one

Crazy Canuck, Mooty and 911Slow;
Stop being GT3 bullies! The poor man just spent all his money on a great car. Leave him alone. He does not need you 3 spending the little money he has left.
Now on the other hand, since I don't own a GT3 (yet), I can offer you some advice cause !'m not a GT3 Bully like the other 3!
-Buy the CCW 18's and sell the Hoho tires to
Chris, he's going to need them next year with the motons
-Buy Mooty's doors, right color
-while the open trailex is nice, an enclosed is Great. Trade in the open to Chris and get the enclosed, it allready knows your car very well
-start off with nitto's, then move to cups when you get to know the car
-Then............. guard LS, motons, Hoho tires, strip it out like mooty's and finally a cup gear box.
-Then buy a Cup car, radical and a stacker.
That should get you through 2 years of tracking. Good luck with the car
Cheers,
Geoff

Jelli Bn is Loaded
Well, finally got the new car to pas the e-test (long story), so now JELLI BN is loaded and ready to go. Saturday first thing, head to Ottawa (500km, 300 miles) to pick up the 3... unless weather is total crap, but it shouldn't. Back tomorrow night with the new ride 
Hopefully a few days worth of driving before the deep freeze

Good luck with the trip. Winter arrived today, 1 inch of snow and freezing rain, quite a mess this morning. The roads had dried up by the time I got home from work. If I was not working tomorrow I could have met you for a coffee. Maybe next year you can come up to Calabogie for some fun with your new car. It's done some quick laps on that track.
Glad things worked out with the smog, you have a great new ride.
Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Chris,
You have been making the "cool kids' nervous with your nice Caymen for a while now......... can't wait to see what you can do with Vaders GT3
Should be a fun next year.

It looks like you'll need a new license plate.... or are you planning a colour change, ala Chris R?
Safe drive!
ps: Chris... Tricks are for kids!
