why do you mod your car

So I was thinking what is the reason that I mod my car. I have put a lot of money into it and was curious the reasons that anyone else mods there car. I guess I like the sound of the exhaust and just having more power.

What does everyone else mod there car for?

Because I'm addicted, I just love working on my car and making it faster and handle better.

My mods are for convenience. Short shifter wasn't only a performance mod, but it made shifting in heavy traffic easier and I don't punch the knee of my larger passengers when I shift to 5th.

Same here


I just want to improve my car's handling/power characteristics. I don't think I'll ever be happy with it though lol.

Making it faster and handle better yes, but also it seems like the more mods you add the more fun it is to drive

So I have the extra power when needed, whether it's getting onto a freeway at a safer freeway speed, passing a car, etc. At the same time, slowing down for the same reasons, to avoid accidents, moronic drivers, random rocks, etc.




...


who am I kidding, it's for the fun of the drive!
