Stopping the mods...

damian_mb

Cars keep my busy...fishing keeps me busy......the range keeps me busy...I have a few hobbies that keeps me from falling out of the modding passion.

I've come to washing the cars every weekend and waxing it every other weekend.

Still love every single mile that I put on my garage queen Z. Also taking turns driving the Z, WRX and my DD...three different experiences, keeps my on my toes with mods and wanting more mods.

Personally, I have never felt the need to mod just to mod. Every mod I've done & have planned has a purpose of how I want the car & it is not my daily driver. I have had a pretty clear plan on what I wanted to do while some ideas have been added & subtracted long the way & am yet to remove or redo a mod. I have always put proper thought & planning into my mods & not just mod on a whim. When I finish, (almost there ) then I can just enjoy my car. I don't vehicle swap much so once I get it the way I want, I'm good.

YMMV

The whole reason why I mod a vehicle is to make it unique to my taste. I don't like to have a vehicle that someone else has. Modding is almost like art to me, each change is representative of myself. Plus, I love working on cars.

I think this is the root cause. Tinkering on things is fun. I don't think I own a single mechanical device I haven't taken apart and messed around with.

I've had spurts where I've done lots of mods then I look at this past Spring/Summer. Outside of installing my front lip (which recently flew off lol) and new R-11 tires, I did nothing

Then in the last 3 weeks, picked up a Carbon Signal CF spoiler, some engine hoses, Illuminated kick plates and have hood props from Kellyfields coming

Heck, I might not even put the hood props in till after winter so I have something to look forward to lol.

I find these little spurts help keep the passion alive. Life will always get in the way here and there.

One thing I do love about the Z is not feeling like I "have to" mod everything to make it look good/perform well. With lesser cars it was never ending...but the Z can be a show stopper with only a handful of modifications.

I only stop modding when I think I'll be selling the car soon. But not once do I wish I bought a luxury or hybrid car like some of the posts in this thread. Besides making my gf and I comfy, sports cars are the main reason I work. Maybe I have some problem where reality won't set in for me, but luckily I have never fell into any sort of financial trouble because of it.

I've had mine for 3 years. I am actually more in love with my Z now than I was when it was brand new. My level of interest in my previous cars definitely had the opposite trend.

For me modifying its a hobby, automobiles in general are a passion. Will i get tired of modding? Maybe. Will I lose interest in nice cars in general? Hell no.

I guess i just have a more "OEM" taste where The only parts I care about changing are pretty much just wheels and exhaust and a drop. The rest I don't really care too much, just as long as my Z is unique than another Z on the road im good.
