The Raven Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) As most of you know i have spent the last 10 months pulling my Aero to bits and adding loads of stuff to it. With a new spoiler on the way, and with any luck some new seats i am starting to wonder if im doing it because i want to or just because its there. I just never seem to be done with the car. Do any of you ever feel like that? I can guess that some of the big power guys must wonder sometimes, spending wads to gain more power, then wondering if you needed it.

Geo Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Better off spending your cash on your car rather than booze, and drugs. But yes im in the same boat, car is sweet just now main things are done. But its the small things that i keep changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Parents moan & very rarely the missus does, but I always say, you rather I spend it on drugs and drinks or my car? I think you can get bitten by the bug, though it depends on budget really. If I wasn't getting married next year then I'd spend loads on her. As I am I only spend on small bits.

paul mac Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 good question for me i just enjoy trying to improve on what Mr T created, i realised years ago my car was nothing more than an expensive toy, it hasn't been a daily driver for years, i mod bits and think well thats that bit done but then end up modding the same part again, for example i am on my 4th set of brakes , stock, 300zx, UK spec, Mercedes AMG. For me its kinda like the Forth bridge, it will never end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 it always seems just as you think your done and everything is looking good..... something then tickles your fancy and you must buy it and then it starts again. there is always small things that need doing, but those types of things i can cope with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I believe it is a psychological disorder. I too have it. Some of you may be laughing at that but i'm deadly serious. I nearly once booked myself in to see a therapist about it. If i'm not doing something to a car then i'm thinking about what i can do to a car. That's why i go through so many cars. I spend a load on them then when i feel i'm finished i end up selling and buying a new one. Except KITT who will never be finished as there is ALWAYS something else you can do to it. As was said earlier though, i'm not spending my hard earned money on booze and drugs so why the hell not. Spend it on what you enjoy Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm with Jamiep and paul mac on this one Russ. It's my hobby. I would be really bored if I was not getting bits for my car and looking forward to the next mod. In some way I even think I get a kick out of things when they go wrong!! More things to buy and an excuse to explore another part of the car. Think how few people really know their car. I could basically build most bits, except the engine, from memory now. I got a strut brace for x-mas from the wife. You should have seen her families faces when I opened it. They thought it was a really rubbish present. I was over the moon. Fitted it that day and took the car for a spin. Loved every minute of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
