Speaking of goodies: I am assuming most people have a true price they paid for their parts, and a 'wife price' that's just some random number we feel comfortable letting them know. Is this correct? Or am I alone?
...waiting on my RE-71R's and catch can to come in. Gonna put those and these koni yellows with comptech springs on and see how she does. Excited!

absolutely. they did confirm that the guy who cracked his, had the original mold...apparently there are two, and it changed in '14. All of mine are the newer, stronger mold so here's to hoping...

Wife: How much were those wheels?
Me: Oh, just a few hundred.
Wife: By few hundred you mean $300? With the tires? and those thingies that screw the wheels on?
Me: Yes they came with the tires and thingies. Craigslist.
Wife: Is that a new watch?
Me: No...had it for a year or two now.
Wife: How much was that?
Me: Uhhhh...well...I bought it on Ebay a while back but I think it was a couple hundred bucks. I wear it all the time - you just don't pay attention to me at all. LOOK! there's a fox in our yard!!!...oh, I guess it's just the neighbors dog. Would you like a glass of wine? We need to get some better tires for these wheels - the Continentals are just all seasons - we need some extreme performance summer tires like RE-71R's - they'll be safer when we take turns at 70. How do you like this wine?
Unfortunately she is way smarter than I am...none of this crap actually works.

Congrats. I'd really like to see the dash cluster while you are driving to see the RPM's and speed. Try telling your wife that another camera is important for your safety. Or, I'd loan you my gopro - I never use it cause I never do anything this cool.
