The self-talk only works for a little while then a voice in my head keeps telling me only one more mod.

right now the real mods are on hold until next summer. I will be doubling my salary and potentially moving into my parents basement apartment for little or no rent.

Thats when the Lambo doors come into play.

If your making that kind of money, why are you moving into your parents basement apartment?

That's what i told myself when I bought mine brandnew. "since it's brandnew, i won't have to do anything to it".

Man, if I had that kind of money to put into it, I would probably put that much into my cobalt.

**Group** Hello Bill.

I used to swear up and down that I would never "mod" my car and that "modding" wasn't for me.

Hello, My name is Justin and I am addicted to Mods.
