yeah you are right, I am too young and stupid to know how to make money myself.

It is none of your business how or who I get my money from, why does it matter? we are all Z enthusiasts here right?

I am not trying to brag or act like I am cool by posting this thread or pics of my car. I was simply just writing what holds true to me, and right now that is mod-aholic. But isn't this site here so we can enjoy what others have done to their cars? we all come here because we all share the same love and common interest, not try and call them out, or care why or how they got what they got? bottom line is would it change your perception of this if I did get it from my parents, or that I paid for it myself? would it really matter?

I can tell you this, it isn't from mommy or daddy, I may be young but age doesn't really calculate maturity or intellignence.... so why is it that I cannot make money at this age? I started making money at a younger age, but then again, I didn't start this thread to talk about how I make money and how I can afford this car or these mods...

although I do hold my dad accountable for my problem, he was my teacher...

What does that matter here? Are you here to be concerned where people get their money? This is a place intended to share the love of motoring, not to criticize finances.

Cat, you need to stop RIGHT NOW. In an effort to help you with your problem, every time you feel the need to mod, here's what I want you to do.....Take out your check book, find the exact cost of the mod you're craving, and write the amount on a check....Now, write my name on the 'pay to the order of line' and send it this way! I guarantee that your habit will go away, and my car will look great!

Hey, it's only because I care!

Wow, where did THIS come from??? Not only was your post not called for, it's completely inappropriate and childishly mean-spirited given the fun-natured intent of the thread. Honestly, it screams jealousy. It sounds like you need a different kind of support group.

Wink Wow!

Hi, Cat.

I'm LanceG33. I have owned my 04 touring for 24 days and have accomplished the following:

    I even had the front license plate bracket and plate frames painted silverstone to match the ride!

    Is there a pill I can take?

    This car will kill you if you are a mod-a-holic. Stop now while you can or you will be broke and doing things you dont want to do to change the car. Oh yeah stop now while you can.


    I need help!!!

    If you Mod-a-holics think you got it bad, just try racing, you will be amazed at the ammount of money you can burn through in just one weekend.....makes moding a street car cheap in comparison.

    I havent had my 350 since last March, I put 950miles on it before we completely tore it apart....well at least it is close to being done, the rollcage is 90% complete and by the time it is done my suspension will finally be ready...

    I know how you feel! I bought my Z the end of December 2003 and have been consistently modding to where it is today. Guess I won't be alone in Modder's Rehab.

    Great to finally find a Modder's Addict group out there for help....

    Don't you hate how our hobby is so expensive.....It's a vicious cycle of finding the best parts, then spending the money, then finding an even better part, and spending and so on and so on.......it never ends.....

    I blame Volk Racing, Nismo, Nissan, TopSecret, GReddy, HKS, JIC, Cusco, Tein, Apexi, HRE, iForged, Toyo, Yokohama, Nitto, Bride, Takata, Ings, Veilside, C-West, Ganador, ORC, Endless, Tanabe, Project Mu, StopTech, Stillen, Brembo, and all the others out there for shamelessy feeding our addiction....those bastards!

    Haha.....j/k....
