I have spent some dough on my car. So what? Why did I do it? Well it probably started when I went to a friend's place whom I had not seen for quite a while. Very nice house. He's an architect.. makes lots of dough.. bastard. Shows me around the house.. some of the upgrades he has done. Basement.. he's done some work down there.. I was semi impressed. He says "Have you seen the garage?" as he opens the door. "I saw it the last time" barely comes out of my mouth as the door opens to reveal a Porsche Boxster convertible. If you can imagine envy, self disappointment and excitement all rolled into one tidy package.. well there you go. We go for a cruise and it was nice. Now this was before I started modding so I really didn't understand handling performance.
Next the next door neighbour puts 19's on his VW Jetta. He says go searching and you will find info on modding an Alero. Ya right I'm thinking. The only people I see driving Aleros need booster seats and/or could describe the first Oldsmobile coming off the line because they were there to see it. Well I found Aleromod and RSM Racing and between the two have made me the obsessed creature of today. I can't afford the Boxster but I seem to be modding the car in that direction. The stuff that is floating through my mind:
Big brake kit front and rear
235's instead of 225's
18's instead of 17's
Supercharger
Manifolds
Headers
Cylinder heads
AAAAAAHHHHHHH
When it is enough?
Yes doctor, I'll lie down on the couch.

Ha ha ha It's cool dude.

Just don't blow all your money at once. Do what I do, play the lottery to win money to mod :lol:

I promised my g/f I wouldn't s/c it until I won the lottery. Little does she know I have a plan. Keep playing until I win :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

(I only play $7 a week)

Better idea: Take a fall in your frineds house and make him buy your mods, so you don't sue :D

:lol: HELL YEA!!! :lol: that's awesome! very nice idea! OR, better yet!, make him GIVE you the boxter (eh..actually convince him to buy u the Carerra, it's much faster) but yea, you should have heard me when my mom suggested looking at Alero's as a new car for me...i was like "hell no!, im not gonna buy a 4door 4banger" (little did I know)..i got to the dealership and saw this little white 2door w/ a spoiler and a v6 and i was like :thumbsup: ..took it for a test drive and fell in love..and bought it that day!...its a damn shame they stopped making these cars :wah:

Time for b-spots math lesson.

$7 per week

7 days per week

that means $1 per day.

365 days a year (366 for leap year)

That leaves you with... NOT 336 DUMBASS!

See me after class.

One word of advice, don't go too overboard. Cuz then when u lose intrest ur phuched.

Like me, over the years i put tons of cash into my car got loox and engine stuff. So this year i decided i wanted to go really fast so i bought more engine poop.

then i got my bike and everything changed. I'm not into my car at all anymore, and all that money i spent on all that crap, doesn't seem as appealing as it once did
