Spending money is dumb?
Sometimes I wonder, is spending all this money on modifications for my car dumb, especially since I have 99,700 miles on my car?
I mean, I love my baby, but somehow, it all seems excessive at times (like now).
What are your thoughts?

Nope, not dumb if you enjoy doing it. Just like any other hobby.
Now if you were buying things like NOS kits and not paying your rent or house note, that would be dumb.

It is somewhat...
If Maxima is the only thing you dump money into it, then yeah it's somewhat dumb. I don't understand why people put all these expensive motor mods into it, when you can just go spend all that money buy yourself a used Porsche 911 or 930S. But granted, not all of us can drop $30-$50K in a used Porsche all at once. I would rather spend the $6K on my CTS 125 then putting anymore stuff into my Maxima. Talk about speed, adrenaline and driving experience... can beat a shifter-kart. And I see too many stories about people getting into a MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) with their nicely modded Max, then all that hard work is all over. But then.... spending money in your car is still hella lot better than spending your money on dope and stupid things like that, as long as you don't street race and endanger someone else's life.
Just my $.02

It's your choice whether you want to spend money to mod your car to the gills. I used to do that, then I've been new mod free for a couple years now. No big deal for me, as I have come to realize the car is a tool for getting me from A to B, and not a money pit.
