iam curious on why people spend money on expensive parts. Ever since i've got my car i've been toasted by mostly adults on the reasons i shouldnt buy performance parts for my car, they say why buy stuff to make your car go faster when you cant go over the speed limit >> . What inspires you guys to buy performance parts.

i get that every day people telling me that my car is a waist of money and that it will never be fast at all , which i disagree with the money i have droppped in the car this winter,, the reason people say stuff like is because them thereselve's will never understand the passion people have for moding there cars , if they dont understand now they never will ,, hope that came out right

I do it because I feel like I have too. I don't feel a need to tell everyone what I've got.

It's for the love, why do people dress up for STAR WARS? Because they love it. We love cars, i also think it's a bug that once you get it, you can never give it up. I for one can say I stopped messing with cars a couple of times and the need to go faster always comes up. Adults and parents can say what they want, but how many of them love doing something and do it constantly, i'd have to say all of them do...a lot of adults play with cars too, i know we do.

So why mod the car... I guess because my right foot likes fast cars.

a "sports car" insurance should not mean slower than 90% of traffic.

Start slow on the freeway onramp, and hit 85mph (flow of traffic) in a couple seconds. I wouldn't considered that 'Racing on the Streets'

I do it to be thrown back in my seat >>

I do it to provide more enjoyment on the canyon and country roads. It's also fun to accelerate fast getting on the freeway and stuff, but I never race, go to the track, and rarely exceed the speed limit by much. I also didn't swap to show it off, or to say that I've got it, though I'll pop my hood at meets and stuff, and if people ask about mods, I'll tell them I've got an engine swap.

Personality.. and just to have the powerrrrrr :-D

somewhat to show off, somewhat to be a sleeper (celicas are not known to be fast, generally established), and to be original

I do it for fun. Its a hobby just like anything else, and plus its enjoyable to work on cars for myself period.

I have a serious need for speed though. And cars that can put a smile on my face make my day so much more enjoyable, considering I spend alot of time driving. So my outlook is, why not enjoy your time behind the wheel the best that you can?? >>
