Do I have the Elise-disease?

Ok, so I was just out in the garage painting my embellisher rings for the head lights. It was an interesting story...

Since the rings are a warranty item the Lotus dealership could not just give them to me so I can install them myself. The deal was that I had to buy the rings, paint them, and then have the dealership install them on my car in order to get reimbursed for the price I paid for them...weird, but ok.

I could have installed them myself within an hour, but now I have to go back to the dealership...

So within the last two weeks I've done the following to my car:

Installed the V1 and concealed display on the bracket I designed and fabricated for the mounting:

Plus I bought a set of black LSS rims in addition to the silver ones I have.
I had ONE track day and decided it's time to save those AO48's and have some Toyo's for the daily drive...( guess that's called the track-bug...)

And I got the embellisher rings and painted them:

But back to the subject:

While painting the embellisher rings I had to wait for 30 minutes between the multiple coats of paint. I could have gone back into the house and watched TV or something.

But instead I just stood in the garage and looked at my Elise from all different angles for 30 minutes per coat.

I had my Elise for a year now, and this excitement just doesn't want to stop

AM I SICK???
