I'm Addicted
 
I have a confession to make. I bought my car in June and have already dropped thousands of dollars on it. An audio system ($1,000), remote start and alarm ($600), tints ($200), tuner and cold air intake ($700), exhaust ($1,000), floor mats and interior dressup ($200). I thought I was going to stop for awhile, but now I am looking at suspension components ($1,000), headers ($1,000), gears ($500) and I have been browsing SUPERCHARGERS ($6,000!).

Before this, I drove a 180 HP family sedan. Now, my Mustang doesn't feel fast enough. I want it faster. It isn't different enough (way to many Mustangs on the road), so I want it to look different. I love the idea of the Shelby front-end conversion. That's another few thousand. I spend a good hour every night on these damn forums reading, researching, planning....I could drop another eight grand on my car, and I would probably be back on these forums the next night, looking for my next mod.

When does this end? The good news is I am young and single and make good money for my age, but I still feel very irresponsible to be dropping so much money on a car. Some of my friends are married and have houses. I am married too, but to my car.

Um... you sound like me... alot. Just be glad you can afford the mods you have planned out. I have a list.. waiting.. And its not a bad thing to spend money on your car, theres no one else to spend it on but yourself so why not?

Well you always could be investing those thousands of dollars in the stock market or buy bonds, you know, something that will be worth MORE in the future?
I just was looking at some used cars and saw that the ones getting the highest prices were the stock ones. Something to think about.

I noticed that too when looking for an older car to make into a track car. Not that I planned on ever selling my 06, but I have every stock part Ive replaced in boxes in the top of my garage, just in case I were to ever need them.

Your detox is to ride your car and have plenty of pics on this site...
