anyone else feel like the modding never stops?

I mean, I've had my car 4 years now, it has been through so much and has so many mods, I've said to myself at least 5 times that wow its exactly the way i want, then I think of another handful of mods to do. Like right now even I have more things planned and on order just out of nowhere. And I have to wonder, will this go on as long as I have the car? I think it will... which makes me think if i gained 50 mods in 4 yrs, what will it look like next year, or the year after? Kinda interesting.

Just below? Man, you suck at sex. You know how many positions there are?

Modding our cars is a vicious circle that never, ever stops. It just keeps going and going... like Duracell. Ah, hell. It's a Honda. That's why it never stops!

lol, when i got my civic i had nothing planned, just a stereo upgrade. that was like 650-800ish. by the time i was done with the car, i was in $4700 in mods, brakes, suspension, 3 sets of wheels with tires (winter, summer, track). its an addiction, but its better than most. at least most of us that mod have something to show for it, other than people that are addicted to drugs and the like.

well first, i guess u gotta ask your self, do you like to do it? i mean u shouldnt have any problem as long as your having fun . It's an expensive hobby but who cares as long as your doing what you like to do. you only have 1 life so live it according to what you like to do, so the modding does go on.

Thing is, Steve-O, that your car is more personal now. The car is more yours, you know? That's one of the reasons one mods and mods and mods. You go on with your mind, your own thoughts, you own likes/dislikes. People change over time, you know.

I want to get wheels. But if I get wheels, I'll need springs. And if I get springs, I'll need a camber kit. I know what you mean.

Damn Gear, I already thought you were 30.

All I need is an lsd, some ep3 ctr recaro's, takata's, and I said I'd be done. But I know rhd is possible, I keep on telling myself all I wanted was to build the complete car and I'd stop, but rhd is calling me out. Especially now since my homeboy just got a rhd front clip for his rsx, I don't wanna be out done.

I think all modders feel the same.
The modding never ends and it's because everyone's always trying to outdo everybody.

When I firt got my civic, I told myself just get rims and I/H/E. Now I'm in the process of a full lip kit, and a possibly a new paintjob after graduation. There's always something new and better coming out and we seem like we're never satisfied.

you would think that by having a girlfriend who wasn't into cars and wants to get married some day would be able to stop you from modding your car but the thing that sucks is having all your boys have hooked up cars and seem to base a lot of the conversations around what they want to do next to their cars....LOL
