Default Modding Disease benefit or curse?

Hello everyone just kind of curious if everyone else is like me about this. The rest of my family there are no car guys all the rest of them care about is a good thing to get them from A to B. Me
I care about every detail of my car, when it comes to mods there are never enough, I just did a ton of work to the car and I finished the work tired as hell and told myself that's it for a while. Got up next morning mods where already on my mind again. Anyone else feel like its almost a curse to be so unsettled about not being happy with a normal car? Not complaining just trying to see if I'm crazy or this is normal for a car guy?

Thanks guys I love doing it, my friends and family always ask after this are you done, I just smile and say not by a long shot. I really think I've put more blood and sweat into my engine than oil lol. They say mans car runs on blood and oil I hope there right.

It's a curse for me, if I could narrow things down to one hobby it wouldn't be so bad. At least the wife doesn't get mad when I buy parts!

Ha, that's the truth, and mine doesn't so much get mad that stuff shows up, just that I ruin her day by making her stay home to sign for packages. The other day I had to bribe her with new headlights for her foxbody. Good thing I had that AM rebate!

I think I'm going to start a "Mod Disease Foundation", who wants to be the first to make a donation to a good cause?

Well I think I got mine out of my system for the year. I just did a bunch of work to my fox and I am calling it quits for the year. Now I am already making plans for next year but that doesn't count because its next year.
