why i mod my car
people ask me this all the time. i only give them one answer, but i have many answers. here are some.
i mod my car cause its a hobby, this is what i tell most people. another reason is to spend time with my dad. we are always busy, unless we are working on a car together. and mods=car work at my house.
i also learn new things everytime i mod something. when i did my spring install i was clueless. now i can take it all apart and put it back together without thinking about it. same with the exhaust, the bumper. i think this is my favorite part of modding a car. just to take stuff apart and put it back together is so much fun.
i work on my car to get away from the world. everything seems to go away, and i become calm, concentrated. when i don't work on the car, im ADHD like crazy. but when i start on the car, its like everything else goes away, and i just want to get it done. its just so much fun.
why do you do it.

Rep Power: 0 i love modding cars because, i love working on cars, even when i'm clueless... love the attention... i mean sometimes people that have a car thats like 2x price range compliment me on my car. this one dude with a twin turbo supra was like, that a sweet civic. "dont see those offten with a turbo" now being the only one miles away from from someone who has a turbo civics makes me kinda of cool, but for a sec... girls dig cool cars but when u got a girlfriend, they just get mad at u for spending too much money and time on ur car... always a fight there. when i driving my em2 i feel like i am driving a ferrari or something cuz everyone around me is staring at me, it could be positive or negative attention but its attention. plus its a cool hobby, addictive like hell, i am going get help this is not healthy

now for 2f2f-2 my neighbors GSX was the sound car for the evo. the mic'd his car all up and went to willow springs and had him do some driving. so all the sound effects of the evo are actually a 95 GSX.
