I realize that this question might offend quite a few people in this forum so if you are offened please feel free to ignore.
Just out of pure curiousity, anyone care to venture a guess as to how much they have put into their rides JUST in mods?
Im at about $150 so far

This is an interesting thread....hahaha
Well lets say, for me...enough to buy another car. Not a crappy car, but a decent one. And, everyone single penny spend on from buying the car and putting mods on the car was my money from working.
I know friends that say they spent like $10,000 + on mods, but those money come from allowances from daddy and mommy...haha.
and the car was paid by mommy and daddy too. I have too many spoiled friends.

But honestly, I find myself sick, and other's that have been modding to the extreme. Think about it, $5,000+ for Wheels $5,000+ for bodykit/paint/install, $5,000+ for custom sound system. Thats already $15,000 which doesnt include, exhaust, engine performances, BBK, interior, and other custom stuff ie, widebody and what not. Dude, we are all sick, I could of put all that money on a down payment for my house, haha.
but nooo, here comes a kleemann S/C, hahha yeah right.....

If i win, whoopie, i win a trophy, if i lose, i lose, no biggie. It just matters that I like it, and when people go attend the show, they enjoy looking at it too.

but nooo, here comes a kleemann S/C, hahha yeah right..... Yup I promised I would stop at 30K but I dont know I just kept going. Along the same time I started modding my old A4 cabriolet too(dumped 10K) on that. But after I got my house I just started slowing down and debating every choice, I mean I was at the point of throwing the Kleeman supercharger-but I just snapped myself back to reality. I regret a lot of my choices I've made but I dont think I would ever take anything back-I have learned a lot the last 3 years and made some very good friends along the way
LOL you think you've spent a lot so far....wait till your done w/your ICE!!!
