I own a boat. BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand. If I spent for Z mods what I spend on BOAT, I'd have quite a car. As it is, my car came with every option except a trunk organizer and the only mod is tint. Stock is just fine with me.

Yeah, spending as much as I did makes me wanna throw up. I'm still on stock wheels and tires too. I still have a laundry list. Such a losing battle.

I say you cannot take the money with you when you die, and tomorrow is not promised so screw it. Modding my Z makes me happy and thats all that matters......

When i spend money on my Z i always know i will make that money back by the amount of smiles i make when i push the gas and drop the clutch. So thats all that matters to me.

I think when I'm done I'll be between 5-10, maybe a little higher then 10 as I'm adding this up in my head... Fortune coilovers, SPL control arms, whiteline sways, audio system (Kenwood, Focal). rear spats, diffuser, wing, lip. I don't keep a count, if I want it and like the price I get it.
Granted my previous toy... a 1970 Pro Street Camaro with a blown 447 BBC was well into the 6 figures and it wasn't done yet... A restructuring 3 years ago changed all that.... |

$0 so far, and I keep telling myself that all I'm going to add is tint, a shift knob, and maybe some better speakers.
I've got well over $7k into my Ducati so far and if I'm that bad with a bike, I'd hate to see what would happen if I started modding a car.
