yep, agreed. My wife hates my car, but she is learning to live with it.
As for the main question, yes its a waste of money. But i dont look at it like that I simply see it as anything in life most things are a waste of money. I dont modify my car for a good resale value I do it cause I love to do it its fun, just like some people have other bad habits, say like i dont know like crack ro something for me crack=my car. for 10 g’s heres what i did do-the list is way too long-if there is a manufacture name by it thats just what I bought but not necisarily the best

I have more stuff but the fact is I am lazy and I think thats about what I got for about 10 g’s actually all that crap maybe like 11 or so, I bought alot at once so i saved alot of $$$$ plus I wired everything and installed everything my self-saves cash that way :lol:
oh yeah my car only cost me 50 bucks–ha so if you cant say that was a waste of money dumping all that cash in do a 50 dollar 16 year old car I dont know what is-but it’s is fun thats what counts
