Nissan 370Z Forum  

can you really ever be finished modding?

For many, once the modding slows down and they get settled in to the car, they get anxious, get new car fever again, and then trade the car for something

I agree. If you can stop modding and learn to drive the finished car, seems better than learning all over with a new vehicle, then start pouring money into it too.

I want HFC's now. I am trying to resist the urge.

Exactly. Once I stop with a car I'm content for about 6 months then I get the itch for a new car.
