finally the modding can continue

Not having a job for almost 3 months means no money flow. I had to borrow money from my parents for gas and such and laid off modifying for quite some time. Now that i have a job again, i will be modding like crazy. also i can donate money so i can be a proud donator to the org.

is it worth the money for a warpspeed b-pipe? i mean the gains are not as great as the y-pipe, but i guess every little bit helps

If your parents are cool like that, heck why not, but if you're smart, save money, don't mod... it's fun, but at 18, you've got plenty of time ...

Save the money for now... modding cash should only come out of the excess... if w/o a job, ya can't even afford to pay for "gas and such", then ya need to save some for now and mod later....

Man I wish I was 18 again. No bills, no debt. Looking back, I wish I had spent my hard earned money more wisely. But heck, I had fun!

I spend my money on mods after all the bills are paid and I have my spending money for bars and stuff like that. I never understood those people who would save every dollar to spend on the car. Modding is cool, but not to that point.
Take that money and go on a cruise with your girlfriend. If you don't have one, just ask a random girl, I'm sure she will go. Modding is cool, but not to that point.

the mistake i made last time when i had a job was blow it all on my car and stuff i dont really need. this time im going to spend sparingly and save money for better things.

Modding is useless if you can't afford the gas to drive your car. Save up some money before you go nuts with the modding, I don't know about you but I'm saving up for prom, senior trips...and the car comes third.
