And people spend money to make a civic go fast, and it's still a civic. And people spend money to make a mustang go fast, and it's still a mustang. Why does anyone spend money modifying anything they own? Simple, because they can.

Maybe if you combined all of my parts on the car I had $5k into it. So what, it's my money. Sure it was still a Neon. I knew it would always be a Neon. I had no illusions otherwise. But that was my choice. It was quicker then most other Neon's, it handled better then most Neon's, and it stopped better then most Neon's. That was my main goal. It was faster then alot of other production cars out there, it handled better then alot of production cars out there, and it stopped better then most other production cars out there. That was a bonus. I guarantee I did it alot cheaper then going out and buying a new car.

So why does someone go out and spend $1500 for a full exhaust system on their GSXR? To get that extra 3.5 hp they want. Why does someone go out and spend $250 on a power commander for their 600RR? It's still a 600cc bike. Why does anyone do any mods to a vehicle? Why is there such a big aftermarket for cars, trucks, sportbikes, cruisers, etc? Because people like doing things to their vehicles. Weither it's to make them faster, handle better, get better gas mileage, sound better, or look better.

The bottom line is it's your car/truck/bike. If you're the one making the payments on it, feel free to do whatever you want to it. If anyone want's to make my payments, i'll be more then happy to do whatever they want or don't want to my vehicles.
