so today i installed a raceseng ashiko shift knob. my first reaction was, "really? people like this?!"
now this is not to say that the shift knob is bad or anything. it is beautifully crafted, and does indeed weight 735 grams.
but then after driving a while, i started getting used to it. by the i got home, it was "yea it's alright".
when i put in my USP short shifter, it was a similar reaction, albeit more positive. i thought the short throw was pretty cool, but after 2-3 days i forgot i even installed it anymore.
same thing when i went stage 1+. the first WOT i was like holy shit this is awesome, but now i'm just used to it.
part of the reason why i mod my car is to get my hands dirty and turn a wrench from time to time. i've been thinking of getting a downpipe, DIY, and going stage 2 this spring.
but given my past experience, i can almost predict i'll be saying "holy shit this is awesome" and then get used to it and wonder why i put so much money into the car for such short-lived benefits.
does anyone else feel this way?
