Do you guys ever think you spend too much money on cars or modifying cars? I think I am personally done dropping money on cars for a while!
Maybe its just me getting older but I am now realizing that there are a lot better places for my money to be put than into cars.
What does everyone think? |

| I worked out how much money I've put into my TC over the past few years a few months ago. Yeah, it was way too much, considering what I'm left with. :( |

Exactly. Sure it's a bad "investment," but what I get out of it makes it all worthwhile. |

Its a hobby like anything else. I pay all my bills and put money away and whats left is money to play with. So spending it on my car is my way of enjoying life.
who wants to be work and no play.....what kinda life is that. |

There are worse things to blow your money on. I have no regrets.
Although priorities definitely change and I spend less now and will continue to now that I have other things that come first. |

Meh, no body forces you to waste money on your car or other hobbies. But you do because you like to play. I dont mind much, If it weren't the car it would be alberta health care...
And what is more important really ;) |

I highly doubt I'll be able to find anything I'd rather spend money on than my car for a good long while.
B-Wurm :D |

What else would you spend it on? Drinking? Clubbing? Movies?
The way I see it is that, yeah, you could cut it out all together. But then you'll need another hobby to replace it. |

I have a few set mods I want to do, and some I need to do. Once those are done, I'm probably done, on this car.
I do know I have put about twice what the car is worth into the car, this far, and I ain't even close to being done... |

| I like Kraft Dinner. :dunno: |

My problem with the money pit that is a car is this.
If I blow $1000 on a mod, the week later the car could be involved in an accident and that money is gone.
That said, EVERY penny I have put into the car has been worth it. |

Trust me - you can only spend so much money on your mortgage before you get antsy to do something fun with it - that's my biggest problem. |

It's not that bad, really. I alternate between KD and Ichiban.
:p
But really, I love cars, they're my passion, so I would never feel bad about spending money on it. I just have a loan to pay off for a few years, and I can live with that. |

my mom (who absolutely hates my supras) and my grandma, both said "its a lot better than spending it on drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. at least you have something to show for it the next day."
pretty much sums it up for me. |
