I've spent so much useless money.

Had a rieger GTS kit - back to stock
Bought big brakes - selling them
Bought stupid wheels - then another set of not stupid wheels.
Installed lots of stuff to go turbo and didn't go turbo

I remember when I was about to install my first set of euroweaves, i was so excited. I carry a weave to the rear of the car leaning on my rear bumper while I remove the 14"er. As Im jacking it up at its jack point (this was before I knew I could use the diff), in the corner of my eye I notice a wheel rolling down my driveway with no means of stopping. Across the street it goes and jumps a curb to rest in the neighbors yard. I now rest them on the ground.

oh, and of course the hand tightened lug ploys...dreadful sounds.
