Stop? I usually don't have any intention of doing more to my car then.. bam I have some inventory that fits the car and I say hmm.. I think I'll throw that on while I'm doing an oil change.. LoL... it's tough not to mod the car... But who wants to fight it..

I've slowed down a bit on the mods, but I see too many other things I would like to get to go cold turkey. I just carefully pick and choose which mods I do now.

Ummm, stop? There's always more mods to be had. Many of them are free and or just time consuming. So when the money runs out, i move onto the more creative, less costly more time consuming mods. But, done modding? I really don't forseeing that ever happening. My list of mods consists of far many more things than i'll ever afford to do.

I have the same problem with thinking I will stop "as soon as I get" and then you can place any number of new mods at the end of the quotes. I thought when I got the new wheels put on, and the new seats, new rotors, and new brakes, that I would be done. But the new wheels make it clear that I need to paint the rotors, and get stainless steel brake pad covers, and the new seats made me realize that I need new floor mats, and .......... well it just keeps going and going and going.......... My wife is getting less and less patient with me, so maybe the "D" word will slow me down too......

My money ran out.
I still want to do more, but I really want to get in the position to buy a house and get out of base housing, so I am on hold!
