Is there any help for a chrome-aholic? Hey, I admit I have a problem. But I can stop any time I want too. It's just sometimes I NEED to purchase chrome I heard there was a guy selling it out of his garage but I don't know kinda risky... What if it's not original HD stuff, and it tarnishes? Maybe some sort of support group I've seen something called HOG could they help? Wife is encouraging my behavior. Please help before it's too late.
There is help.....it's called powdercoating! But then that gets addicting too.
I suggest you just consider all these chrome based purchases as part of your 'safety' program. Well, anyway, this is what I tell my bride (when I pick up yet another chrome thingie) that I NEED to purchase 'Safety Chrome' so people see me coming down the road...
There is a 12 step program for you. However you need to remember you will always be a chromeaholic. "Hello...my name is Brad, I'm a chromeaholic. It's been 32 days since I last bought chrome."
