Find yourself a career that pays decent...

By the way, i'm a huge fan of the CL; always have been. That said - I'd rather dish cash into my car versus making monthly payments on something else everyone & their mother's are driving... In my neck of the woods, it's RARE to spot CL-S is awesome condition, let alone blown... I like being in that small percentage!

Hell yeah, I feel the same.
With all the changes ,parts,maintenance I've could've bought another car.
9 out of 10 people I come across that ask,their best guess is my car is a TL. I find it funny everytime but, at the same time I like people not knowing what the car is.

Especially since they don't know you have a 3.7l under the hood.

Put on my ct blower and Ronjon lip kit. Honestly I'd be happy with that! Tired of staring at it in the garage.

Couldn't agree with you more. My car may be a money pit, but even still I spend less money than I would versus a monthly car payment on something I'd be comparably happy with, which by the way is nothing I would call cheap!

My goal for 2013 are to get this new motor in I just bought and have it turbo'd & tuned by spring! We shall see, I don't have many more parts to go though

Yeah I feel ya'll.
I would rather save up month by month and then spend it on upgrading a car that's paid off

rather than:
buying a car then paying monthly and having to worry if adding extra parts will void warranty/etc or facing new problems you've never dealt with since it's a new type of car

Saving up then splurging is like a mini birthday present for your car!

If I had a great deal of money I would buy a factory fast car, and a car to build myself

Guess it looks like the Cl has the best of both worlds!

Or forgo a seat swap DIY thread
