I love RX8s but often wonder while reading posts about peoples new cars and big buck modifications, do other people have too much money or do I not have enough?

 

Make a budget

 

combination of both?

 

There are very few people who believe they have enough money.

 

ignorance is bliss.

 

There are also very few people who believe they have enough modifications. Gives them the urge to spend.

 

I have NO idea what you're talking about.

 

Reponse:

 

damn it, self ownage.

 

Would be a much smaller forum if all we ever talked about was how sweet our stock RX-8s are and all the different ways we can change fluids. They ARE great but you can only say that a few hundred thousand times before you realize you're being a tad redundant and start wasting your time on the Intergoogleweb doing something else.

Besides the nature of things are that it's more fun to talk about expensive things no one has and everyone wants than inexpensive things that everyone have (Clear Corners FTW!).

 

now how many of these people that have made big buck mods, have gone into deeper debt that will cost more in the end than the mods did in the first place?

 

You have to realize as well that there are ALOT of 04 and 05 owners, that have had the time to choose, save for and buy expensive mods. I've had my car for 2 years and I've only done two-three minor mods, and one major, in wheels. Choosing them took me a year?

 

nice logic. and definitely true.

 

Or you can do what I do and buy stuff lol

 

there are four types of modders on the forums

1. The "buy a few things" and are good modders
2. The "buy a few things every couple of months" modder
3. The "have a plan and spend weeks/months/years getting to the end result" modders
4. The Taj's aka "spend more then you should on something you couldnt afford to maintain even if you didn't Taj-up your car". These guys throw a ton of money at the car and hope it sticks.

None of these are better then the other, some are just more sustainable

 

i think #2 applies to me

 

You forgot #5 buy the car wait 3 months and drop a **** load a cash on mods then try to think of other stuff to buy

 

I think I'm in between 2 and 3.

 

Dom, after the initial splash of cash most of those guys fall into 2 or 3. Heck.. some of those guys who drop 8k within the first year never mod again and consider themselves 1's.

 

so where do you put yourself Laythor?

 

be logical. Its only a car.

 

Yep, just look at dumbasses like tabajo

Oh my Gosh!

 

Enjoy your car in whatever form it's in. And mod within your budget. And never go into debt to buy mods and then cant afford general maintenance on your car (or life)

 

Jeez half of you guys sound like my mum and the other half sound like my bank manager!! haha
