calling it quits
when is it time to call it quits and stop modding your car ! ive had my car for like three years now and i just dont have the passion anymore to mod it !
what did i loose?
there used to be a spark when i saw a part or something i wanted for my car and know its like i dont care anymore.
evan now i started a project to try and do something to my car and i dont evan care to finish it! homeade triple gauge pod!
is anyone else going through this?

i have been through that in the past on other cars. Sounds to me like you need to take a break from all the mods or find a friend that is completely psyched up about modding there it's kinda contagious at time

why not take a break from modding it but by all means still post on here and hang with friends that are into cars...just take a break from putting your money into it. Maybe even do something you've been wanting to do but couldn't cuz you put the money into your car...

Ive heard of this disease before but i did not think it exsisted, maybe you just need a break or are you just to busy with other things that your car has come second or third or even worse fourth....I got this way when i played guitar and i had so much other stuff on my plate the least important thing fell off the list....

Im basically done with modding my car... i need to start saving up since all my money i got from working went into my car... lol my bank account hasn't even seen more than $1000 (got close but all gone)

I hit the realization a few years ago that modding cars wasn't for me. Sure, I'll do little things here and there, but all the mods I do are now more for comfort, rather than speed or style. I realized I don't need a fast car to drive back and forth to work. Plus, when you take into account the cost of life after college, it really makes more sense to spend money on other things.

Same here... no need to spend much on your car when your not a "mod heavy" person... plus there are better things to spend money on

It's still fun to put little things here and there on the car, but as far as spending a ton on turbo kits, body kits, paint jobs, wheels etc, it's just not worth it IMO. I bought the Hotchkis lowering springs over a year ago, and they are still sitting in the box because I don't want to get new struts and wheels and a camber kit and everything else.

I also agree with teamben158 :
