i'm loving this economy!

It hasn't affected my modding at all. I usually spend months debating with myself to justify a mod. I don't impulse buy anything, so that saves my butt a lot of money

I'm the same way, took me a while to finally purchase my rims.

for those with the cash flow - the flipside of this question is - "how many cool deals can you find due to the economy?"

pre-owned rims are cheaper as is anything else that is being parted out now.

Same here... all cash. If you use cash, you will never over spend... can't spend what you don't have!

Had to hold off the biggest mod of all, replacing my IS350 with the IS-F

My lease was due this month, instead of turning the car in, and picking up the IS-F, I decided to buy the car, and lower my car payments for now.

For now, keeping my car as-is, I may change springs and shocks later on the year. And hopefully in a 1-3 years pick up an IS-F.
