I'm the first to admit,"I need help".I know there are others here in the same boat.I suggest that we have a space in here that when one starts to "wander" and think of buying more stuff for their 500,there is place to turn to to get help.By "help",I mean folks in here could talk to them,explaining the fact that they don't really need it,can't afford it,or whatever.Wives and or girlfriends could sign on here,too.I'm sure that would go a long ways toward "helping" us with this addiction.We could even set up times where many people join in at once,you know,kind of a cyber intervention.This could be put into place when things get way out of hand,like trying to order tires,PS,and a locker within a week.Opioids are getting the headlines,but we have a problem,too.What yall think???


I would like to think of this entire forum as a "Support Group" no matter the machine or topic there are usually several people out of the 19k+ members who can make a positive contribution to most questions.

There goes my blinking Christmas lights and 3 foot Easter Bunny for the roof too. My back-up camera and remote start have to removed from my Christmas list too. Take away a man's dreams and you might as well bury him. At least all my planning on how to get stuff delivered when my wife is away will be easier. What came in the box honey? Oh nothing - just stuff to repair the lawn mower. Right!

I'm in deep.I went to the shady part of town today during my lunch break looking for "stuff" to feed my addiction.Saw 2 sketchy dudes standing on the corner,so I stopped and asked if they "had anything".One of them pulled out a 3" square LED light,I quickly paid him and sped off,looking in the mirror the whole time.It's going to be a rear light.It got me through the afternoon.

One way of supporting fellow members is by buying their old sh**!
Got a mess of stuff I could get rid of, factory seats, console, Honda rear net, front bumper, factory skids, factory shocks, factory muffler, Boss amp and speakers, bunch of tires will soon be coming down the pike too. Other stuff that I'm probably forgetting about right now.

You 'could' get rid of.... the symptom of 'I made need that' afflicts most but we pretty much never do.

So my P500 is out getting a gear reduction, because the tires I got were too much. But I still want more. What good are huge tires and a gear reduction without a Torq locker? I need a locker, right guys? If I already get the front diff out, huge tires a gear reduction and if I have a locker I might as well have power steering too...

Wait what was this thread about?

A support group? I don't think so. I'm having to much fun finding ways to justify the things I think I need to the wife. So far I am 100%. Support group? Noooooooooo! Yep. I have to go through her. She does the books.
