Hey, that's why we have social web sites and social events like this gathering to get ideas and suggestions. Tips on where & where not to buy stuff or get service done. I've saved a few hundred $ just by chatting with other GP owners. You will too. Don't go rushing to buy mods. Research, shop and compare. Most folks I talk to have had their GP's for years so I don't worry about catching up to their performance/appearance levels overnight. I've learned a ton since the end of Feb '10 when I got my 2nd GP. Just come on out. Trust me, it'll be worth your time and effort.
