stock does kind of suck. having a modded car is nice because you can drive up to an "identical" car and know you can smoke it.

Just a hobby, I like being pushed back into the seat, but i also like just sitting in the garage with the radio blasting, wrenching on my car.

I want my car to look and sound like it's mine. It's also a fun hobby that I enjoy and something my girlfriend won't complain about me doing. She hates my video games so much...

Its fun, i don't go fast to often or street race, nor have i ever been to the track, i do get on my car. But nothing is more satisfying than just cruising in your car by yourself so to say just enjoying life.

I have a desire to learn how everything works and to make it better in every aspect. This applies to cars, computers, etc. today. And it started with legos and knex and erector set as a kid.

I mod becuase I'm only 21 and I want my first car to be fast (obviously) and very good looking.

I'm more for apperance mods being that the car is at a moderatly good speed. No need to get to 60mph faster than what I need right now. I get up on it but not much.

I want to be able to go to car shows and beat the scions.

I mean come on, Why let the scions have all the fun ;]

I'm new here just to let ya know, but like Jbernal said, i mod my car so I feel like it's my own car. obviously I own my car, but it just feels like another Cobalt until I change it

I mod because I like the whole automotive concept of racing and performance. Feels like a self of accomplishment of doing something I like. And of course making my car perform faster.
