Exclamation Sleepless nights?

Maybe it's just me, but who else on here is more than just obsessed with their cars?? How many have actually lost sleep cuz of thinking about stuff with their cars, or can't sleep cuz you're excited about something coming by UPS or FedEx the next day, or a problem with ur mods that keeps you up thinking about it. Just curious. Just wantin to make sure i'm not the only person with this problem.

use the stretch and sku option in ms paint to decrease the size of the picture. Anyway, yes i've lost sleep thinking about what to do, or waiting for something for my car. HIDs (which im waiting for now), rims, body kit, or anything, lol.

BINGO!! Thanx! K, all i have on this computer is old azz pics. I'm on my old computer at my rents place. But ya, anyways, all i got on here are some pics of when i just got my rims. My car wasn't lowered then. Nor do i have any of my exhaust componets on it yet. I kinda regret painting my calipers and drums now. It looks kinda ricey, am i right? Anyways, the last pic is a crappy chop i just made for you guys to kinda see what it looks like now that its lowered, but ya, its just a chop

I had this problem when I was waiting for it to come out of the paint shop. I was redoing everything on the car, so I had like a million things on my mind. I'm glad that's all over with.
