Default Why?!

Okay guys, I'm sure you've had something similar happen to you guys before... I had been looking for a TON of parts for my car, 04+ Grand Prix front leather seats, Highsport sides, lots of bigger parts like that..

Now, I decide to demod and stop with my car and they all pop up right away. What is up with that?!

Has anyone ever had something similar happen before? You look for something for the longest time, then you decide you don't want or need it and then it pops right in front of you... yet you no longer have a need for it lol

Share your stories, help me not feel so bad

Hi `Mitch, I hear it a lot from guys that are married...They looked for the longest time(Gave `Up) & then got married.

Shortly after they are married & stopped looking/searching for what they really wanted that special someone pop's up right in front of them but it's 2 late sorry

Sounds like the story of my life. My whole life has been like that.

I've normally had it happen where when I finally get what I was after, that item shows up EVERYWHERE (usually for a better price too). I feel fortunate when I bought my Monte, I had not seen a comparable one for a better price for about 2 years (and seriously, after 2 years, it doesn't count).

Happens to me once in a while.

The worst time was right after I bought my Ninja, an R1 came up for about 2k below book value within 3 days of me buying my Ninja. Really wish I would have held off.. I probably would have kept the R1 to this day vs. just fixing and selling it like I did with the Ninja. Oh well, some day I'll find another good deal on one, just gotta wait for it....

This also happened after I bought my supercharger. I was saving up money for supercharging and/or rims and lowering. Bought my M90 and the rest of the supercharger kit and then a mint set of Eagle 077s came up on Des Moines craiglist but of course I had no money, too bad that they are long gone now
