I need help

OK, I'm driving myself crazy. I'm becoming obsessed with this car and am spending far too many hours on this board, looking for reviews/info, cleaning the car, polishing the car (5 coats of Zaino so far), driving the car - it's ridiculous!

And now, I'm having serious regrets about giving in to practicality. I went with the SSM 5AT - easier to care for and easier to drive on my 1.5 hour stop and go commute.

But my romantic and excitement loving self is screaming out in protest. I should've gone with NPB w/the 6MT and HPT (said with a large portion of whine)!!

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to function in every day life anymore. Anyone know of a therapist that specializes in emotional trauma/obsessive compulsive disorders related to cars? How about a 04 TL owner support group?

Oh, and another thing, I want a 300 hp TL so I'm already beginning to think about aftermarket performance enhancements. If I go down that road, it'll be all over. I might as well start getting the disability paperwork together now in anticipation of the nervous breakdown that's coming.

Sorry

Sorry to break this to you but you cannot be cured. These things might help;

1. Wash your TL daily
2. Zaino weekly Z2
3. Zaino monthly Z5
4. Sleep in the car
5. Always write with your Acura pen
6. Check this group at least 5 times a day for 30 min. minimum each time.
7. Thrive to upgrade the performance
8. Buy what you can aftermarket to put on the car

and your feelings will fade eventually in 5-10 years. Then you can buy yourself a new toy and start ffrom step 1. All this have helped me
