Because "$700 left for mods" sounds like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel...

What is your monthly disposable income situation like, after you've accounted for car payments, insurance, gas, and other regular maintenance items for the car? If you are barely breaking even, then save it for car payments.

I don't know about you, but my car mod budget is month to month, and every month I don't spend anything means it carries over to the next... or I just use it on something else, or save the money, or invest it. My budget is large or small depending on how long/short I wish to save up for.
