The kicker is I work at a car dealership. l o l. There is like, no one there to discuss tuning with, (I tune my own car and actually did do another boost / fuelling tweak this morning), and what mods I do. Also have to explain a million times what the goal of my current flex fuel project actually does. Just waiting for those 1000cc injectors... that's another rant. So most of the time I don't say anything until I'm asked what I did last weekend, and prepare for the huh? what does that do? Follow up questions.

But when I talk about lego, model kits or RC cars, that's another story, everyone knows about those and are happy to chat about it.
Tuning your own car huh? You're brave! What car you got? I had a go at tuning my B4 but didn't have the patience. I just paid someone to do it

I remember the days of sinking huge sums of money into cars. It is fun but now I just look back and shake my head. I should have taken the wife traveling instead. Never again will I sink more money into a car than absolutely necessary.

Unless I win lotto. Then I will have a 400Kw SS for the street and a 250Kw version 6 STi for the track (if the wife ever lets me near one again)
