I think the same way! All the gifts, dinners, outings, time requesting off work to go out... Opportunity costs my friend.

lol, I still owe on the car, so it's pretty much done with the mods until it's paid off. I don't like owing money

So far:
Hid's, LED license plate bulbs, yellow running lights = $75
Red Tails lights ($7 for paint $80 for clear) = $87
Lowering springs (whiteline camber bolts came with them free) $175
Flossy Knob (stock one is too small) = $100

Total is = $437

And that's where she stays for a bit....looking at two years before she's paid off.

Keeping on topic, my stupid purchase was the car.....lol, I love it and I don't plan on selling it, but at the time, my wife and I couldn't afford it. Total impulse buy and probably the best, worst thing I've bought in awhile.

Seemed like a good idea at first.

It stopped being updated when the total box was causing tears.

The frs saw tires and a catback within a week, gotta keep on telling myself the appeal in it to begin with was that it is a car that could stay stock(ish).

Look on the bright side, at least you haven't purchased more in parts than what your car is worth... Can't say the same thing when you own an MX-5 though... The hard-top alone costs a third if not, half of the car's value already....

Yeah... I probably shouldn't have got this car. In my defense I'm hoping I'll get a much better job, you know, eventually. *Totally not bitter about the job market*

Unsustainable bubble in my subjective opinion. The coming student loan crisis maybe
