I feel your pain Greg. I drive my wife nuts to the point that with big purchases she simply looks at me and says, go ask your 200 questions. And even after asking the questions and exploring the car, house, etc. if I do pull the trigger often enough I still find myself regretting not finding some particular gap/issue that could have saved money. In fact, I went through so many questions with a particular seller of one extremely low mileage C70 T5M before I bought the coupe I own today that he finally just decided he didn't want to sell it to me.

We might disagree politically but ... Yeah, same here. Sarah wont even call to find out a few initial details about a car for me. When we actually go to look at a car she just gets back in the wagon and takes a nap.

I've had several sellers either change their minds on selling it to me because I found so much they weren't telling or just go back inside their houses and wait for me to finish going over it, haha.

Throttle bodies showed up. They look awesome. Have two different lengths of stacks to choose from. I'll be installing this winter and hopefullly bagging the car too. I have to send some things out for plating on the ITB's before I can install them, so I'll be boxing them up next week and sending them off.

Looking sexy there ! keep up the good work !


Obviously I feel the same way, I bought the car. However, I'm not thrilled with the price I paid. I think that feeling hit me later on after spending more time going over the car and finding things I didn't find on site before buying the car. More ammo so to speak I could have used for driving the price down.

We all feel that way on everything we buy and nothing we sell LOL
