    Already in process:

    1. Found, bought, shipped and stripped a donor GP
    2. Kicked my wife's car out of the garage for months
    3. Made my MINI unsellable, past the point of no return
    4. Put a manual transmission in an automatic MCS
    5. Sent Jan a check for an obscene amount of money - and that was just the down payment
    6. Commissioned Howerton to build me a custom meth system
    7. Bought a crazy amount of sensors, gauges and data logging equipment
    8. Bought every piece of trim, decal, bumper, etc. to make my cabrio as GP-ish as practical.
    9. Registered the domain GPness.com
    10. Commenced campaign of 3x normal wonderfulness to the wife, in an attempt to stay married

    I love playing with fire, so let's try this again: My wife says I didn't tell her until it was in the garage that I'd bought a '95 M3. (I was sure I did... :D ) But she's still around, so I'm ready to try again with a '16 Mustang GT350. A real GT350 (especially the '65) has always been out of my reach, so here's a way you can fulfill one of my lifetime dreams.

    I hereby approve your starting a Kickstarter fund for my GT350. (I thought I'd have a better chance at crowd funding with a reasonably priced car, rather than my dream Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari GTO or Mark Donahue's Trans Am Camaro.) :Thumbsup:

    Thanks, in advance, for your contributions. :fingerscrossed:

    Similar story..

    -My MINI was already unsellable, unless a track rat floated to the surface.

    --Removed and Replaced roof to get rid of sunroof, hoping it would make a difference. It did.

    --Sent Jan a check for an obscene amount of money - and that was just the down payment (Borrowed from Paul)

    --Sent the car to Jan. From Wisconsin. This required another check for an obscene amount of money.

    --Vipec Dash. So I wouldn't have to buy a crazy amount of gauges and data logging equipment.

    --Too lazy to buy strips and stuff for the exterior. Hoping Owen (5Zero) will have time to do it while it's in Cali.

    --No web domain, have to draw the line somewhere.

    --Looking to sell my MDX for something that will tow a MINI. Probably a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looking at trailers. Although I might be able to rent one instead.

    --Getting my wife a Volvo XC 90, because I can only pull off 2x wonderfulness and needed something to make up the difference.

    All of this because of an obsession to run a sub 2:40 at Road America.

    Yeah, there is a subterranean connection under the track to Elkhart lake, but you have to know the secret handshake to get in....
