I don't regret any mods I've done.

I race my car in every way possible in my area, except for ice racing. I auto-x, open track and drag race. I took 2 driving schools last year. Every mod on my car has some useful purpose. I'm really not into car shows or standing around shooting the breeze about cars.

So, I don't think many of the generalizations are true.

Someone that can laugh at himself/herself has knocked out a lot of obstacles in the process of learning things and actually makes the experience fun.

Big ego people suck, regardless of their knowledge...
They will argue your answer, that they didn't have, for the question that they asked you, lol.

Anyway, Blacksmoke seems OK to me...

I totally agree with the mods that you don't use much idea. Before I got my stang I had a 94 camaro Z28 that had alot of work done, suspension, intake, exhaust, wheels, ect. and I can honestly say that after a certain point the car was creeping away from being a nice and fun daily drive to something more of a hassle to live with. My plans with the stang are much more mild and to drive the car more.

Myself I don't care as much on the performance side as the styling side. If I have a car that had 600 hp but looked the same as 100 other cars I would not still be satisfied. I want something that stands out in a crowd. Who cares if it has 600 HP. Well maybe I do....
