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.
