:facepalm:

I'm 55 and my last mod was three mods ago! :tup:

Every time I think I'm finished - or sadly more recently disgusted with the additional work/headaches/cost a mod creates - I get over it at some point and try something else.

I guess it's what keeps me interested in the car. I have to admit though, I really am closing in on the point where there isn't really much left I would like to do. I am NOT touching the motor since I have the Nissan 7yr/125k warranty.

I have no debt in the world minus my car loan. I pay $463 a month for the car, $143 for insurance a month, $85 for a cell phone, and $350 for rent. So, I don't mind modding my 370 and having fun with it.

I even only drive approximately 2.4 miles to work and then back. But it makes road trips and those few moments I can really get on the throttle all the worthwhile. Plus the sound alone was solely worth it.

But that's just my two pennies on it.

If that's the intent of modding a car, then it's a losing game.

I modified my car for a purpose, to drive at the track a full 30 minutes without incident. This goal was achieved.

Oddly I had to fight the urge to continue to spend money on mods. Modding for mods sake. I have two I've bought without installing. A back up cam and new clutch springs. The urge mostly went away and I still love what I've modded.

Age of the car is not what prevents me. My age and wisdom kick in first and I stop myself.

I can't even see what he wrote and I'm :facepalm:'ing too.

Yep. He's his own special brand of stupid. After multiple bans, he keeps coming back here to bash Nissan every chance he gets.

I wasn't even bashing In this thread though , it's the truth...

I am 49 now I want to spend time enjoying vehicles not working on them. I feel like I did enough of that in my younger days. I still do mods but keep them simple and quick. If I want a faster car I buy a faster car. If I want a car that handles better I buy one that does. I don't try to polish turds anymore or try to make a car something it's not. I enjoy them for what they are and personalize them now.

Apples to oranges, Z is two seat sports car. Mustang is 4 seater :stirthepot:. In my experience, Z's win against Mustang 5.0 at the track or winding mountain road, just not in a straight line.

Yeah I hear ya, if I had a nickel for every hour I've spent over and under a car (no money no choice) rebuilding/repairing everything I could think of with borrowed/rented tools etc., I'd be rich. But it was a learning experience. Back then I could walk the next day but now at 52 it takes a while longer to recover :). I think I'll leave tha Z alone except for minor tweaky things.
I like to mod but only small stuff. I'll leave the TT to the younger crowd.
I do love to see the mods here though, don't get me wrong.

Saw this thread and immediately could relate. We all fall in love and occasionally out of love with our cars. I for one seem to have consistently replaced my sports cars with the DD only to find myself back in a sports car again. Lesson learned - Its not the car - Its us. We are car people period. But like any good addiction, car addicts only can go so long before the craving strikes again. Change up sports cars if you need to but always stay true to your passion.

:wtf2:


:rofl2:

bingo!

I still love modding my car more then ever, Hell I just ordered a set of sways:tup:
