For example,

This is the one we looked it. Hands down, so beautiful. It's a no go for both of us because we want a white one.

I too sometimes think I could dig automatic and comfort...but after driving the work F150 all day, it's smooth and stress free, but I ALWAYS am happy getting back into my personal vehicles at the end of the day!

S5 is definitely on my list of upgrades one day. Although I still have a really hard time not having a NON paid off car.

Pfff... all I read here is first world problems.


"Should I get the luxury sport coupe, or should I get the luxury sport SUV?"


"should I get the beautiful v8, or the beautiful v6T?"


Oh the dilemmas y'all face. I'll just get back to driving my decade old plebe sedan It even has AC

I watched my Miata drive past me yesterday, going in the other direction. Surprisingly, I didn't feel any remorse. She looked nicely taken care of and I felt happy for the new owner. Odd.

And Taco's right. We are blessed to be able to have these discussions.

And shuddup J. Sell TL, sell S2000, have a TINY car payment.

Also I get the idea of buying a good car and not touching it. I won't do near to the S5 what I did to the TL.

Wheels, spacers, tint right from the start. Tune and maybe a drop once the warranty is gone.

Maybe a couple CF lip diffusers and or RS5 grill.

Annnnd done.

haha, I'm just playing around. But yeah, we are pretty dang fortunate, that's for sure.

Nah. I mean like taking the headlights and projectors apart, etc. I don't mind bolt ons or cosmetic changes.

I blame Mercedes commercials for my problems.

No more modifications. Must write it down.

yeah, but then I wouldn't have my beloved S2000 and TL-S.
and then I'd have a car that I MIGHT love more than both of the others...
that might only be good at 3 things, when the other 2 cars are good at 8 things, combined.

I ono...the evil you know. I'm actually happy.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

and I won't say everyone is like me...
but I got the silver S2000 and said it was perfect how I got it and wouldn't mod. Modded.
then did same with yellow...modded.

TL-S I basically just modded to the level black was at and I've stopped!

The only way to fight temptation is by

1. Log off any forums
2. Log off social media
3. Throw your phone in the ocean
4. Move to an island

I get what you're saying. Just don't use the car payment excuse again... :P

And we are all enthusiasts. Modding is what we do. It's why we're here.

thoiboi

I made a whole list of mods I was going to do the the TL..


Then I started traveling for work and drive maybe 50 miles a month...


that's the best way to not mod it... Being and thinking to yourself, why the eff are you going to mod it? It's just sitting there...


So my list is just ever-growing now

"modding in spirit"

it's an art

I say the exact same thing about my meth addiction!!

Just buy a house and mod that. Wait, that didn't help....

Shit if I travelled more, I'd probably mod more.... Kuz I'll be bored in the hotel so I'd be buying shit.

bought a house, that didn't work...had a baby...that didn't work.
Chad, the payment thing is what I cling to to convince myself I'm happy, man.

Either way, if happiness with your vehicle is tied to boredom and relative...you're bound to be unhappy and bored with the next car too and maybe even not love it as much as what you got (assuming you do)...so it gives me the warm and fuzzies to not cough up Z's college fund on something with more computers and less manual transmissions (overall, not your choice specific)

I've spent approximately $5,000 spirit dollars modding

TacoBello

Why do you have to convince yourself that you're happy? Sounds to me like you're not happy

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

Shouldn't need convinced at all. Best 3G TL (Best non-NSX Acura ever? ) Hot S2000 (Best Honda ever? ). You're doing fine.

So I've personally never bought a car from a private seller. And I've certainly never done so out of state. Any tips guys?

that's not purple and slings yogurt

thoiboi

damnit.. was going to make an obvious joke but then saw the white print..

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

well, thank you, firstly.

Secondly, in my experience...happiness is a choice. Not just something bestowed on some lucky schmuck. So, when you see a hot chick, you don't dump your gf/wife to go check that out because you have chosen to be happy. When you see a car that's faster and newer than your car, same deal. You choose to say I'm happy. That's how it works for me...

Chad, get a feel for the buyer...anything seems out of place...bail. I ask a LOT of telling questions...and I pay attention to details, I read up on their forum posts, see if it correlates to what they are saying...make sure nothing doesn't jive with their reason for selling or condition...make sure they're willing to send WHATEVER pictures you ask for within a pretty quick turnaround. Tons if excuses or whatever, I'm out...I get the feeling you're not what you say, I'm out...

Preach, "ah, men" brother... People that know me know that I'm never truly happy with what I've got.. There are a few things that I'm happy with..1. GF 2. TL. I use my discontent as an excuse/reason to do better in my life (be it with my job, my personal/professional relationships, my (lack of) physique, etc..

Until you learn to be happy with what you've got, you'll never be happy with what you get..
