life of a tuner. dump tons of your life savings into a old vehicle that does not hold its value. if a house was a car. we wuld all be rich. money pit that never gets full. and when it does (car modded to your aspect) someone presses the dam toilet button and flushes it empty (engine blowing …etc). so its a never ending cycle. good side? u are enjoying blowing ur pay cheque and u feel like its christmas all over agn. you enjoy driving your car (call it spirited driving or some ppl are just reckless), its more then a A to B vehicle. ---

modding cars is definitely a money pit and you NEVER get back what you invested. the more you mod your car, the more it depreciates. no one will fully want the car you build because everyone has different tastes. if you see how many people who have modded their cars, and then have tried to sold it, you ALWAYS see the final price that they sold it at (if they sell it) to be well below $2,000-5000 of what they asked the begin with. ---
