do you ever wish you never started?

I started at 16, quit at 24 to play around with drag racing. Came back at 30 because drag racing is way more expensive.
Well, I might be getting back into car moding.

I might make my new car 360 HP.

And make a nice system. We'll see.

Getting a car up to 400 Hp shouldn't be too expensive.

Especially since stock is about 263 HP turbo.

thankfully thats where most of mine was from and selling the vehicles.

looking back last year i wish i hadnt had so many vehicles or builds since i had

NO INCOME from Feb - Sept

 
i dont regret it. we could be doing much worse things with our money. a lot of people believe this hobby is wasting money, but how fast could you turn around and sell everything for no loss or a slight loss? pretty dam quick. my g/f doesnt understand it. o well

i just keep building bigger and bigger, so when im done, ill have a pretty big investment to sell off and buy a house hopefully

 
alotta money spent, but motocross is much more expensive, so it's all good. as long as it keeps me away from doin stupid shit, im down.

What's your system worth?

How much spare equipment do you have?

I think I've got enough to put together 35-40 cars

 
I just wish I didnt have to try something new all the time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

If it were only that simple, 400hp is just enough to get your *** handed to you at the local strip here. It is not uncommon for 500hp+ street legals to show up Friday and Saturday nights.

 
It makes me happy so i dont regret it. i dont really have that much money in my system though. i get stuff pretty cheap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't need anything crazy fast. Frankly an Sti with upgraded ECU and nice exhaust, maybe blow off valve is more then enough for Colorado.

I just like the way the legacy looks.

Mine is going to be sitting on 19" Giovanni Rims

Smoked Tail lights

black on black with 2% tint all around.

This is what it looks like stock:

I spend pretty much every bit of my money on car audio, but I don't regret it one bit.

I do feel bad when I lose hundreds when I resell my equipment to upgrade //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
