If it gives you pleasure then it's worth $150, no less than a nice dinner, an expensive bottle of wine, an hour at a Blackjack table, etc.

I retrofitted the leather covered console (purchased from Suncoast for $2K) because I absolutely hated the large piece of plastic that IMHO cheapens the look of the car's interior. There is no way I can justify that on any ledger; it makes no sense and is a total "waste" of money, but it makes me feel good every time I look at it compared to what was there. That, in and of itself, has value. I think your "pleasure disproportionate..." comment is right on but I too contend that sometimes it's nice to disobey your logical side.

Boy, that's a toughy.....

It's not something I'd buy but to each his own... it certainly would put a smile on my face if I lifted the cover and saw the cap....but I'm not sure what I'd be smiling about????

Cross drilled brake lines too cool brake fluid? Nah. Too primitive.

I'm waiting for the nano technology brake fluid which is composed entirely of molecule-sized radiators.
