i know its just a machine and everything, but, when you mod your car, or even an oil change, do you feel "closer" to your car? Like, its really yours, and your proud of it? I do..
ive also just had 3 beers..hmm..
lol, but seriously..

 

3 beers and you start asking silly questions like that

 

If this is a serious question, I treat my car like a girlfriend.

 

^haha yeah, lookin for killerG's sarcastic remark, where you at!?

 

I have sex with my car too

 

you're welcome

 

Hiii
Im in the process of replacing alot of things.. cannt wait to fell like u guys
Mara (:

 

One time a girl I was talking too was like "If we went out, would you ever cheat on me?" and I was like "Yeah, all the time. With my car. You'd hafta share me with her." Yeah she stopped talking to me.

 

maybe she stopped talking to you cause you were 16 years old

 

LOLOLOLOL SHOTSFIRED, It's always personal when you do stuff to your car, a mod is something that reflects the owner and this makes the owner and car "one" with each other

 

Killer come get your headlights cleared

 

Just like how yellow painted calipers reflect certain people too...MODESTO MODESTO MODESTO MODESTO MODESTO

That might be it. At least I don't have the same problem as you, girls stop talking to you because THEY'RE 16...

 

^ i gotta wait till next summer ecko, im moving to boston permanently for the next 4 yours and leaving my car in jersey for the time being so i gotta find a way to bring it up to boston

and u know i <3 u kid. love shots fired bro

 

I feel it's a mixture of personal flair and caring for something you paid a crapload of money for. Whether it's rims or an intake we all save up, install/pay and enjoy each modification.

I'm in the "honeymoon" phase and love every minute of it.

My girlfriend on the other hand "tolerates" the car haha! She enjoys it but hates how much time and money it absorbs.. and i've just begun.

 

lol, i constantly remind my gf that i love the car more than her. As a joke, but im secretly serious

 

^ A car is cheaper to maintain.....seriously

 

car also complains a lot less

 

If only they made sandwiches too ):

 

I love my car, but people always ask me whether if its a he or a she. I tell them that my car is a "it". lol

 

^ LOL!! good ones guys...the sandwiches got me euronoob.

car modding has become a hobby to me. i used to not know a thing about cars until i started driving and now i love it. i hate fan boys that goes "only (insert brand) is cool and all other rides can kiss my ass cuz they suck" kinda attitude. as a car enthusiast i dont think you should be able to appreciate different variety of cars, not just bmw, or honda, or lexus, etc. so to me, car modding reflects your personality and your unique creativeness. i have friends that goes "my car is sht im not gona do anything to it" when in reality, they have a decent car.

in short, car modding is a lifestyle.

 

Amen Ed. Fellas, you are stright up clowning on here! Crackin my shiz up!

 

It depends if you are modding your car for performance reasons or emotional reasons or a bit of both. I feel that any emotions for a car are fleeting at the end of the day....or should I say when time passes (in like 5-10 years later as it's just a material possession).

I don't really mod cars anymore, too old or practical for that stuff these days. Small changes here and there, but nothing over the top. If I pay for a mod, I hope that the increase in performance would lead to some increased level of enjoyment. Beyond that, I don't have any emotional attachment to the car. I try to preserve it and take care of it, but that's more b/c it's an asset and I want to retain it's value and I would take pride in the ownership of the car (keep it in good condition). I never felt 'close' to any of my cars, even the ones I modded heavily in my younger years......you must be watching too much KNIGHT RIDER when you are DRINKING THOSE 3 BEERS

I think the feelings at most for a car could be like a good date that never went anywhere. But that's just my two cents. I don't think my logistical thought process is the norm

 

Just take your time in modding. My last car was a 90 Civic Si which I owned for 18 years, married and brought home both kids from the hospital in it, had various mods on it and my kids used to call it Vroom Vroom when they were younger.

At the end of the day, it's just a car. Take care of it, mod it to your personal preference and enjoy it. I spend so much time driving to and from work as well as ferrying kids to their activities, putting things I liked to the car is a no brainer to me, because it increase my enjoyment of the ride, plus getting thumbs up from complete strangers (driving Bimmers, Camaro and Civics etc) is nice.
