Default Just looking for some advice/suggestions

I can't decide if I should keep modding my tC or if I should just save up the extra money to buy more of a weekend car or something to toy with and call it a day with my tC where its at.

I'd love to get rims and a lipkit but I can't decide what I should do. I don't really want to spend anymore mone on power mods because I am an auto and its my dd. I've thought about turbo and stuff but eh..I'd rather save that for more of a project..

Anyway, anybody have thoughts? opinions? Just wondering what any of you guys might do in my shoes Oh and don't get me wrong I love my tC and wouldn't trade her for anything. I recently got a new job where I'll have much more stable hours so saving up for a second car wouldn't be as hard as previously so yeah..

Thoughts?

Its up to you really--Some people like having their project car as their daily driver, and some people (like myself) prefer a daily driver and a project car that isn't daily driven-- Granted, I still did small mods to my daily driver (the tC) like lowering it and blacking out the emblem, I did nothing major on the tC- I put all my effort/money into my project car =] So, for me, I'd say get a project car that isn't daily driven ;)

personally id get a 300zx or old supra project car or a small project truck like a toyota tacoma that you could get a lift kit for and some tires etc. and just keep the TC as a reliable daily driver.
