what motivates you to get mods for your car?
we spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on our car... why? aside from making our car look even better than it is, what motivates you to buy what u bought for your car?

i mod my tC to fix things that i don't like about it or to improve its usefulness to me. for instance, i didn't like the wheezing, constricted sound of the engine, so i opened it up with intake and exhaust. i didn't like the mushy brake pedal feel, so i upgraded to stainless steel braided lines and pads with more bite. i didn't like the tucked-in look of the wheels, so i bought wider ones with a lower offset to bring them closer to flush. every mod i've done is about adding to the original design to make the car a more pleasing daily driver for me.
I mod cause i like the feeling of working on cars. I get a feeling of satisfaction unbolting stuff and getting dirty... Yea sounds weird but its just a hobby of mine... im pretty much done with things i can do myself and im most likely done with modding (need to save money since i plan on moving out)
I mod the box cause it sets me apart from others...People know me around here (my town and the surrounding ones)...It brings me a LOT of satisfaction doing something new...I'm proud to drive my car
It's my project.

I really dont know why I do it. I tried to get away once and just to get back into it. I told my wife when we 1st bought the xB that I just wanna lower it and put wheels on it. WELL.........didnt turnout that way. lol. It is addicting, but being active with the community kinda makes you push it. Now my xB only gets driven like once every 2 weeks and its usually either a meet or show. lol. My wife hates the fact that I wanna get a 3rd car and my choice is either a 96 S-10 single cab, 91 CRX si, 95 GSR. I will end up fixing those up too unless she says get a Toyota Previa or a Chevy Cavalier. lol.
