In all seriousness, the act of modifying a car is pretty silly.

Ok let me clarify my comment on the East Coast....I dont mean no disrespect....but I was at Petersberg VA for 6 months, I went to Richmond on the weekends and went to Virginia Beach twice and Wash D.C. for the 4th of july.....

I didnt see really any car scene...I saw a huge motorcycle scene where they custom painted them and stretch the rear trailing arm to drag race...

There is some crazy food theme for the car scene there....So I saw a Snickers Car, Pilsbury Dough Boy Car, Skittles Car, A surburban painted like a watermelon....

I did see an occasional hotrod on sunny days and one S14 with sportmax wheels in Norfolk VA..

So bottom line 6mos where I was at was pretty dead.....I will go to New York next year and hopefully will have my opinion changed...

Oh yeh....I did actually see one crown vic and one el camino with the wheels broke off and the other with the wheel and axle sitting next to it....

To much weight on unmodified axles and hub bearings....FAIL

Modifying cars is dumb. This s13 I have decided to waste my time turning into a dedicated track/auto-x toy will be car number 15 for me, and not a one of them has remained stock. If I think back on all the money i've spent on cars I could have a house or two by now.

I can't stop though, I thought I could. Got out of cars for the last two years, and in that time I still managed to waste money lifting my daily Isuzu Rodeo. Then bought a bike and wasted just as much money on it as I would have on a car (even more if you include medical bills). So here I am, a 23 y/o college student with not a dollar to my name, living check to check, with a hunk of shit s13 coupe sitting in the driveway that I'm determined to waste a grand or two on. But for some reason I'm ok with that, and spent the last few months planning this act of stupidity.

Whatever, you only live once right?

sounds like your the poor guy with a shit car that can't afford to modify and trying to drag the rest down. misery loves company.

i like my car just the way it is, thank you very much.

ronmcdon 03-03-2010 01:05 AM

honestly (no sarcasm) I wouldn't mind boulevard cruising in something like this.
using the ronald-mcdonald dolls as 'road rage' projectiles can't hurt either.

it feels good when u hit the gas and u just take off in front of everyone. ya its waste of money but its also feeling good. they balance each other out.

ericcastro 03-03-2010 10:50 AM

I just dont like being like everything else in this world.
I like to have a little individuality and creativity.

Yes, we all modify our cars, But there are alot less modified 240SX's out there then there are 2000 Toyota Corolla's.

WISH ONE 03-03-2010 11:05 AM

Yes modifying cars is dumb, a waste of money blah blah blah... its a hobby for most people. some people take it a little too seriously and think the world revolves around it, it doesnt.
The same can be said about other hobbies... to each his own and if it makes you happy go for it.

On another note Id love to put condoms on each one of those fart cans on the volvo and watch them blow up.

wh0aitznic0 03-06-2010 08:59 AM

People who modify cars are stupid.

I modify my car.

Therefore, I am stupid.

FaLKoN240 03-06-2010 12:25 PM

I wish I never started working on cars.

I'd probably have a lot more money saved up, and stop wanting to dump my money into the piece of shit.

rb25_s13*CHUKI 03-06-2010 08:43 PM

I love working on my car and I love modifying my car. Who cares what people say about doing It. If they don't like It they either can't afford It.weren't very good at It or just don't share the same passion as the other.

If your gonna complain about money then this Isn't for you and step away from the game. If your gna complain about cops then It's not for you. Step away. If your gna complain period, Step away Its not for you.

I enjoy my exhausts and my lowerd car.my hids,my diffs.my engines.my control arms. I enjoy every single aftermarket part that Is on my car. Every single penny spent was a smile earned. If your gna complaing then step down from the game.

BoostSlideWayz 03-06-2010 08:53 PM

I personally think thatmodifying your car is just fitting it to your personality.. if you have a completely riced out car your a fag but if you have a clean car that has a decent stance and not screaming give me attention i think it means you respect your car but want alittle more out of it then stock. i mean lets be honest.. most the USDM 240sx arent that fast... so who cares if the car is modded or not.

Mine Is pretty fast. same for my rx7. My Evo. all my other 240's.

rb25_s13*CHUKI 03-06-2010 09:02 PM

You know what I think Is dumb? All this zilvia non sense. Ohh lets call everything stupid! Then the other people who post, only post what other people say so they can keep their zilvia rep up and look cool! Yay! LEts Impress Zilvia!! Even tho half the people here saying modifying cars Is stupid have modifyed cars.

Matej 03-06-2010 09:45 PM

Everyone on here defending modifying cars is just secretly upset that their car is not stock.

ayuaddict 03-06-2010 09:50 PM

i wish you could just buy stock cars.

WISH ONE 03-06-2010 10:46 PM

Id have a lot more money on my thats for sure... If i never found cars id probably still be skateboarding, maybe even turning pro like some of my friends i grew up skateboarding with. but theres always the "what if", I wouldnt trade cars for the world and I hope i never "grow up" and realize cars are stupid and a pathetic waste of time. I just hope i continue to do well for myself and make enough money to support my stupid waste of money hobby... LOL

ayuaddict 03-07-2010 02:34 AM

i bet i would have an awesome collection of STIs.

...and not the subaru :tardrim:

Enna 03-07-2010 03:47 AM

I think you mean STD's. And with that I concur.

Nope he means STI. STI =Sexually transmitted Infection

FaLKoN240 03-07-2010 11:11 PM

You know what's stupid?

Spelling modified with a 'y'.

Oh yeah, and modifying cars.

Moon Ill 03-07-2010 11:42 PM

Well. If you have nuts you might as well be nuts. Having your pants on the ground is stupid, but people do it because ironing is a hassle and it really hides the wrinkles well. But people modify their bodies right? Like, enlarge or reduce boobs, call phone sex lines, and use ky jelly. It's not fair.

But it wasn't really him. I didn't think it could be anybody else, but it did end up being somebody else. Aww man, you just missed that commercial. Oh well. Modifying a car shouldn't be taken too seriously unless you plan on driving it on the road or racing it.

That's why floating cars were killed. Couldn't modify them. Orange sherbet knows this. That's why it's around the orange cream pops. However, if you prefer vanilla yogurt you should try adding walnuts.

Metaphors of Marcus Aurelius weren't used that often in Tsun Tsu's AOW, but very often in Mitoshomi Musashi's BOT5R. Why in the hell are you still reading this?
