Who spends too much on their evo??

Ok, I want to know if it's just me ops:


I love my car, I would do anything for my evo. But sometimes I go just a little too far. If it's broke I replace it with better stuff. If it isn't broke I replace it with better stuff anyway, regardless of the cost.

I want the car to look perfect all the time, hence why a re-spray and wheel re-furb is next.

But, how in hell does everyone pay for this???? :shock:

I've sold all the excess bits off of the car and a few more things besides!! By the time this round of work is done including the mapping I will have spent over £3500 this winter, the excess going on the dreaded credit card!! :shock:

Is it just me that throws money at these cars that we haven't got or do we all do it?? :shock:

Do these cars encourage excessive spending? Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Put me out of my misery folks!

Well I have spent f*ck all on my car over the last few months (oh the joy of 605 )

But something tells me that the next few months are going to be very expensive i.e new evo , new wheels for evo, insurance for evo ,but I cant wait to spend the money

Well with the old evo I only just had enough money to maintain it , and no spare cash at all for mods that I wanted to do.

But with the next one I will have money to do things so I think I will enjoy it alot more.

I voted you only live once, that my motto for life :muhaha:

Yes these cars encourage over spending well they do in my experience but i think its worth it.

The ring trips along in my opinion, the difference from going to the ring in a standard car and then going again after spending a few thousand was amazing, totally different car and a lot more fun and safe! (brakes)

I try not to go in the red too often but pretty much all i earn goes on the house and cars.

Your not on your own whoosh!

Everything in the first post is so true :muhaha: :muhaha:

We seem to be spending all the time sometimes to fix and sometimes just for the hell of it :muhaha: but it gets bad when you times it by 3 cars :shock: :shock: :shock: Coz Andy is just as bad :shock:

But what the heck.....you only live once and life is there to enjoy

Roll on the next set of mods I say
