Default No Hope?

Help what do I do, I have started to haemorrhage money on my Subaru, what should I do? Is there a self-help group for this or is the only option group therapy. I’ve been trying to hide how much I’ve spent but its no good I’ve even lied. I keep finding more websites with even more goodies.

Is cold turkey the only option or is there something that could wean me off gently?

...and if she finds out, tell her you where seeing another woman.
Most women would probably understand that easier than why we've spent so much on our cars.

Jeezus you ---t--ds I was looking for help and advice not more ways for escape and evasion. I guess there's no real hope then? next problem is what you do when you're caught.

I'm only really bad with Impreza's, with my other cars I've spent alot but with all my Impreza's I've spent loads, constantly getting parts!

I'm not planning on giving it up anytime soon either, Lol!

Hey, its better than being a drug addict!

You lie. My missus doesn't even know I've had the car remapped - let alone how much it cost.
