I want to put some mods on my 05 2.2 but my wife wants to buy a house first .
I think she out of her mind what do you guys think?

 

House dude

your car isnt going to make money for you

all your car does is depreciate...you should know this man.

 

this is my second wife and would be the third house i have bought in my life .
I think it time for toys.

 

If you "think" its time for toys check out the Supporting Vendors section.

Modern Performance is good along with some other companies in there...

 

how old r u?

 

choosing yourself first.....for stuff thats not needed, we all know an un-happy woman is an unhappy everyone

 

Sorry, but I have to say house. More of an investment than mods. You will never get a the return out of the car. If houses do anything in PA like they did is Az, buy a house if the market is low. Our houses here have over doubled in value in a little over a year.

 

You better do house otherwise your wifey is going to be 'upset' - and you'll hear about it for EVER.

 

I think those are two things that aren't even close on the scale of comparison. Mods or house? jeebus...unless she's talking about a 15x15 shanty thats shouldn't even be a choice.

 

well what em and my wife do is mods thru out the year mostly aand maybe a few small house things, then at the income tax time we do a big house thing and some small car mods, and i am 21

 

I think a house is alittle more important than mods for you car.

 

Get BOTH........**** man I'm 21 years old have a new car, harley, and a 2 houses.......it's only money and you only live once so HAVE FUN WITH IT!

 

Go for a house. Sneak a few mods here and there and tell your wife your work cut your check a bit :P

 

if she wants the house she should buy it.
your money, you do what you want with it, if she wants a house tell her to get a job and buy one.

i say its not her decision but ya like everyone else here says, the house is probably the better buy. housing prices are going up like crazy and your car loses $5000 of its value the second you drive it off the lot.

 

House.. you didn't get this right the last two times. maybe you should listen to us

 

Iknow the house is more important and will give me higher returns . I guess the mods will have to be slid in oh i mean wait .

 

more than likely old enough to be some of the people in the forums father . my oldest daughter will be 18 soon.
But age is all in the mind .

 

Dude, there is no reason you can't have both. Buy the house first and get them to throw in a little 'home improvement' money. I'm a mortgage broker by trade and I do this all the time for people. If ya need any help or have questions drop me a PM or e-mail.

 

dude no dissrespect but you'd be an ass to drive around in a modded car and live in a shack. actually i could be wrong on that though cause i got a lot of homies that live like that and drive on dubs

 

I didnt even read this post easy answer HOUSE......

I just bought a house and realize that the car will not be running 12's this summer because of it... still have money for stg2 though

so for the reason why

House builds equity vs car losing money everyday
House keeps wife vs car with you alone doing 1/4 runs
House keeps you warm and cozy vs car keeps you warm and cozy for maybe hr long stretches
House can have parties vs go to a party in your car and then wreck it on the way back

 

Damn, what the hell do you do for a living???

 

Yes you only live once but when you are 60 and you dont have a disposable income better hope you saved some $$$

 

If you don't get the house you might find yourself living in your car.

 

straight up

 

get a house if you can afford it and have wheels, to hell with mods for the time being

modding our cars is just our way of whipping our penises out and measuring them.
i mod my car so i am included in this category.
