People usually tend to get tired of the same car after 3~5 years, that is the reason why you are seeing 3~5 year old veterans selling their TLs. I for one usually get the new car itch every 2 or so years

I can answer this!!!

It's because Tim is dating me. It's costing him a bundle to date such a high maintenance woman.

I kid. I have my own funds.

Besides the point, I am writing a piece for my journalism class and then we started reflecting on why men mod cars.

I honestly wonder how we got through the day when Tim had the slammed or dumped TL. Actually, we didn't survive most bumps without scrapping the under carriage of the car.

Tim has gotten all he wanted from his TL. He has be admired by thousands on the Acurazine. He has gotten on the front cover of Traction and been the model car for ATLP. He have created wonderful friendships with people he has met on acurazine but it is time to become an adult and enjoy cruising the roads without calling attention to the cops or 16 yr old kids looking for a race..

However, Tim's modding will go towards my car with my MONEY.

I must be atypical-I keep my cars for 6+ years. I keep on modding mine-maybe that's what keeps it "new" for me.

With all of the part outs going on lately, my car will finally be admired!

As I've said in the past, this was my dream car when I had first laid eyes on it and I'll be keeping this for quite some time.

thanks for the heartwarming comments guys lol

well...retirement doesn't necessarily mean PART OUT...maybe just change things around to be more conservative...get rid of unnecesary things...etc..etc...I'm still keeping this car for a year or 2. Just don't expect it to look like this anymore is what I'm saying.

Timeline thread for 6spd coming in a week or so
