And don't forget you find out what else your car "needs" to improve after taking it to the track.

exactly. i like my warranty. the FURTHEST i'll go is exhaust and wheels i think. if i get headers then i'll have to worry about a tune and ceramic coating. it isn't much but it's still money. and who knows how long i'll take before i even get an exhaust and wheels

There was also something in your minds that made you spend the money on this car instead of a something like a Versa or Fit.
With modifying, I find it like a lot of things, less can be more. For example I wouldn't mind getting some legit suspension, sway bars, corner balancing, and bushings. But for that money I rather do more track time and improve myself with the basic mods I have on the car already.
Just need a realistic approach, honestly evaluate how much money you can spend. For me I don't have a significant other so spending $ on a track event is more enjoyment than going on some random vacation alone. Plus you get to play with some really nice people and cars.

true. everyone has their own interests and hobbies.
I always say to my wife that if i didn't have a car payment on my brz, we could pretty much go on a nice vacation every 3 months. but then she tells me she likes going on drives
