tim the tool man syndrome

[Anonymous]

It would seem I always get a new project car with the intention of doing a stock rebuild and then I get the syndrome and have to start upgrading. Oh well, let the upgrades begin.

I think it's a highly contagious disease spread through gear and motor oil with no cure kinda like cancer, and it just eats at your bank account untill you have no money left to spend and your family leaves you. :roll:

Vann, you have it all wrong Its in the male genes or it in our JEANS?
either way i am sure you undersand now

you have to really watch out for the variation of the disease where the 'upgrade' yields an immediate negative effect, in which case the symptoms include the blurting out of 4-letter words.
By the way, I am with you... my 302 has a pretty gunked up carb and intake... may wanna go from a 2V to a 4V now...

8) my nam eis richard and i am an autoholic. it started when i was in 7th grade reading about the datsun 240z, and got worse when i read about a mustang being modified. soon i surrounded myself with autoholic friends. my family has not abandoned me despite the fact that they are not autoholocs, which has been a comfort. i will say that this is one disease that i hope they never find a cure for.

And hope the nonautoholics don't get the idea to do an intervention and make you appear on Dr. Phil's program .

Maybe It's goverment conspiracy? They want us to spend all our money on parts to fuel the economy and got the auto makers to underpower their cars so we'd be forced to spend our life savings on making them faster!!!!!!

Hey, it's nothing new - been around for centuries. Just google up "shipwright's disease". MANLY MEN (Arrrr, arrr, arr!) just switched from boats to cars.

I tried the tin foil but it didn't make my car faster, and I got a bunch of strange looks. lead makes my car faster but kills my mpgs. I avg 14.3 to 13 in the city black streaks everywhere :roll:
