You Cali guys love that JDM/VIP look. Don't get me wrong, its sexi, but that's a lot of cake spent on a tC. I'm at about 2k with mods, which is sad, as some of you guys paid that much just for your wheels.

^ Gotta pay to play.

Yea that's true, but my tC is a DD and gets beat on. I only wash her when I absolutely have to, cause everytime I do, I find a new scratch,dent ding, but hey what can I expect with 106,xxx on my 06.

Well I mean it varies from car owner to car owner.
I'm pretty sure the two you were referring to (Riboflavin & Ihavenosn) DD their cars too. They just enjoy keeping it looking fresh where as you beat on it and don't wash it as often.

So in the end, it really comes down to how you are.

Yep...mine is just a dd and I drive a lot between SoCal and NorCal, so less headaches from stuff rubbing or scraping is a plus for me. lol There's no real reason to go crazy on it right now too since I'm just a student. Maybe when I get another car after college, I'll turn it into a project or something and then go all out on it. Who knows...

you know it's pretty hard to stop once you start modding your car.

I remember when I had spent $2k on mods.

Today, I'm at a little over $28k. haha

I still think it's so stupid to spend $28k on $20k car. WTF...

gotta stop modding my tC and look for an upgrade.

yea I just got a lexus for dd but I still drive my tC to basically everywhere but not daily anymore. haha

28k! O_O

Things add up fast and yea I've hit $28k recently.

I use scikotics garage page to keep updating my mods and see how much I've spent.

At least I didn't spend that much in a short period. It's been over 3years owning my car and I think some ppl spend that much in a few months (which I can't, I'm not rich )

Alot of my friends have spent alot of money on their cars too. I think it's one reason, too. The influence from your friends. LOL

Ro_Ja

you've gone through multiple setups too

06tcdude

Damn 28k. + the 20k purchase price. Id have a nasty turbo IS300 for that.

What do you do for a living? Cause obviously I'm in the wrong business.

riboflavin

iTrader: (2)

yea that too. I suck at selling stuff so I always ended up selling my old setup to my friends and losing alot of money cuz I didn't wanna charge them too much.

I know huh? after that much of money wasted my car is still not fast and doesn't look heavily modded.

ihavenosn

My tc is a dd, although sometimes I wish I had the luxury of it not being one though.. oh well

I don't like to dwell on how much I've spent on my tc because it's rather pointless because you can always bring up the "oh I could've gotten such and such instead..." As long as I'm happy with the car, it's worth every penny I put into it and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
