I know what you mean... I'm still stock except for yellow fog overlays, sport pedals, and clear bra

I have other obligations like paying my mortgage. That alone sucks up my mod money. I'm saving up like a mad man to buy my first mod.... an F-SPort Exhaust. After that, wifey is only allowing me one mod per year.

^ Thanks for the heads up.

I saw that thread last week. That's why I'm up for one... 900 bucks for one is quite a deal for the exhaust.

But man... mods are not cheap. I have so much planned for my car, but only wish I had cash to spare. A higher salary doesn't help because the government takes most of it. I already owe $3000 in taxes for next year. That's alot of mods for my car down the drain.

I feel you there man. I had to cough up over $8,000 in taxes last year. I guess I can take solace in the fact that the government spends my money so well. Oh wait...

It's called a J-O-B job (Friday reference) and money management. Obviously you can't get everything right away. Gotta save up and get one mod at a time. The painful part are the gaps in between mods lol
