Default Just realized something sad.
I've spent more in the last 4 weeks in accessories for my SC than I paid for it. Up to 9 grand in it.

At one point in time my stereo system alone was worth more than what I paid for my car...feel your pain.

It is like a disease, you can't stop. I am not to that amount but I am surely getting there.

its good as long as you are not sacrificing your savings for it.. If you spend X amount of money on the car you should have X amount of money saved..

this year, I think I am going to spend more on gas than what I paid for the car

Personally, I'd rather spend it on gas and mods rather than having something that keeps breaking down (i.e. my mazda for example) or make monthly payments for

its all about self control. if you got that then you good!

I've put in 1,000 rims, 100 lights, brakes 250, suspension 500, spoiler 100 and i think i am pretty good. kept it under the price i bought the car for so far!

Theres always things i want to buy, but i just think about it for awhile to make sure i want it.. except for the HIC spoiler i saw it and bought it right away gah.
