Why Do You Spend $$$ To Mod Your Car?

[cRaverZ]

Just curious why some of us out there like to spend so much money to modify cars....i mean u buy the car liao then still can spend so much money to modify the car.

I was at SPEEDWORKS the other day to check price for air filter and there was this new Honda Civic from the showroom which came in and modify the exhaust and change to HOTBITS suspension. I mean all the new components just go to waste, damn sayang lah. Nowadays ppl gila- gila modify until can buy house already wif the amount spent.

What do you guys think?? Worth it or not???Why do some of us do this??

Err,i would say modify cars just to 'PROTECT' ourselves.Who knows one day we're driving on the road & somebody tailgate us.At least we can brush them off easily.With ori parts,is a bit hard though...

majority of people will say that we modders are wasting our time and money for something called a CAR.

those who hate us modders must have something else that they like...

it's called a hobby.

we, the minorities do the things we do, because we are smart enough to appreciate it.

it's our way of life, and it's our right to spend on what we want.

I also think that two of the reasons of modding the car is to 1)make her that much more "exclusive" and special from others of the same model. Let's say if you have a Ferrari Modena and you meet another same Ferrari Modena on the road, you probably think you need to be better than the other car. And 2) your car has just been "outrun" or "outlooked" by another car and you are cheesed off.
