    Anyone else have this problem??

    Hi fellas - I'm wondering if any of you have trouble focusing on "important" things ( work, sleep, eating, etc. ) during the days from when you are contemplating / deciding to buy a car until you actually buy it and get it home?

    Cam & TooFast...I know you guys don't have this problem or you'd be in a bad way from sleep deprivation or starvation. But what about the rest of you? Prior to buying the car, do you find yourself spending a LOT of time surfing looking for that perfect project, toy, or daily driver, or countless hours researching parts you may need to replace or upgrade?

    Curious if I am "special" or "normal" like you guys...

    I am the same way. I lose sleep and everything. It's an OCD thing in my case but I think lots of folks experience this.

    Funny you mention that. I woke up at like 4:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep cause I was thinking about a car. My problem is that as soon as I think I know what I want I start to look at something else. Then the cycle starts all over. Reading forums, watching videos, looking at dyno sheets, etc.

    Man, I couldn't sleep the night before flying down to get my car, couldn't concentrate at work either. Realizing a dream you've been chasing for 8 yrs is hard to ignore.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
