    Totally!

    Sometimes I get so involved in one install I forget I have something else coming.

    If I ever get rich Im going to hire someone to just order stuff and keep it coming.

    Itll be like xmas every day.

    I now maintain a spreadsheet on the Big Data Cloud, just to keep track of all the parts I've already bought.

    It doesn't help me find anything, but when I'm hyper-focused on a new project at my computer, at least I know whether to buy new parts, or to go look in my garage for parts I already bought the last time I had this particular idea.

    Sometimes I still can't find the parts, so I wind up re-buying them anyway.

    But it's a big help, I'd say it prevents 50% of re-buying things I already bought.

    A triumph of 21st century technology.

    Jesus Christ, children, is this the 3rd gen forum? With all these memes and animated gifs, we're doomed to stray off topic at any moment. I sure hope it doesn't come to that, but lol yolo wtf, I'm lit as AF, hashtag 29 more years of mortgage payments, boomerlife4life dot com slash-dot insurmountable student debt. Did I mention the yolo? Please send help.

    I think I found a fix for this issue.


    Buy a slightly used modded one.

    2018 Limited, just under 26K miles, mods I am aware of Tires and Rims, Alpine head unit, exhaust, leveling spacers, and turbocharger.
