Why is it that...

Don’t you mean “Might as well”? :lol:

And boba240, don’t worry man, leave your car as it is and enjoy it. Save the money and get something you like. However, a little quality suspension & motor work can go a long way in the 240 when done right, so that’s usually why people do it. I’m sure quite a few people on here could afford new cars if they wanted to.

My KA-T 240 has been extremely reliable, winter driven and will hold with a 350Z on 5-6 PSI. Plus it’s lower, more “raw” IMO, and a ton cheaper to own and insure. When something new I can afford that actually holds my interest shows up, then and only then i’ll buy something else. But either way, to each their own!

Regarding the whole “cheap” mindset, and I may be stating the obvious, but I think every culture has it’s variety of people from the most unnecessarily cheap to the do-it-right-once perfectionist etc.
