Dammit, they should make the front bumper strong enough to jack from, is that so much to ask?

I could jack up all my Porsches by the front bumper!

I jack my car with my biceps.

Dammit! You beat me to it! Well played, sir.

I didn't "vote," but mine is bone stock. Not by choice as I just got the car. Plenty of mods planned, including some custom work that I'd like to tackle myself for the fun/challenge.

When I think of "how modified is your car" I think in terms of things like this:

Stock: Bone stock. Might have upgraded tires but that is it.

Lightly modified: 1-3 major upgrades, I consider a mostly stock car with a few focused upgrades like wheels, tires, suspension and catback/axleback exhaust to be lightly modified. Think CS/DS cars.

Moderately modified: 4-6 major upgrades. Everything listed under lightly modified in addition to headers, exhaust and tune. Might have minor aero upgrades like front lip and duckbill. STX cars slot in here. Generally, well sorted but still streetable NA twins fit in here. A boosted twin with little else done to it could also fall in here.

Heavily modified: Basically anything that goes above and beyond what I described under medium. Gutted and/or caged, wide body, serious aero package, built motor, engine swaps.

Where is the option for "Desecrated and abused due to forced induction kit and drifting?"

somewhere between lightly modded and performance modded. the "performance" mods I did like the catback exhaust and intake aren't going to make a noticeable difference to most people, but IMO the biggest performance upgrade was better tires. acceleration, braking, cornering were all markedly improved.

Bone stock. Maybe that is how I've gotten 131k miles and expect at least as many more.

Being that I have no mod'ing experience, I was specifically looking for a complete-ish project car. It's kind of insane how little money you can recoup trying to sell a mod'd car once complete. The seller's wife was very vocal about it when picking up my car. Apparently the $3,500 Amuse R1 exhaust was her wedding gift to him. Sigh.

I see dealers charging more for stock FRS's w/the same mileage. And I got the OpenFlash tablet and winter tires w/mine.

$3,500 catback.
