I don't afford. 
I think most of the people on here with serious mods have jobs. Yep, I'm sure they have jobs. Work brings money. Money brings mods. So goes the circle of life.

Just curious about the "average" Maxima driver.
1) What's your age?
2) What do you do?
3) About how much do you make?
4) What nationality?
5) BONUS: Favorite sport/sports team
?
-----------------------------
1) 20
2) I am a student (computer science), graphic artist, web master @ **** site
3) A meager $16/Hr, but I get to watch ****.
4) Asian. I'm from Taiwan, I've lived here since I was 5, I'm a proud U.S. Citizen (GO USA)!
5) Basketball:Kings/Football:Jets
That's me in a nutshell.
I noticed the wide variety of people at the Woodbury meet. It's cool that something like the Max can bring all different types of people from all different walks of life together in a constructive way...now if everyone drove a Max...would we have world peace?

I spend about 2-3% of what I make in mods for my car. I don't buy things unless I've got the cash to buy it (ie never charge it). I'm 27 and live Kansas City, Kansas. My wife and I have combined income of roughly $73K a year. Both our cars are paid for and our only payment is our house. We save and invest a lot. We could be living in a much bigger house and I could be driving a MUCH nicer car. BUT what's the fun in that? Why live paycheck to paycheck? I like to modify my cars and if I spent all money paying for the thing, I couldn't toy with it. I like being able to go out and get what I want and not worry about it.

Girlfriend + Maxima + Uncontrollable urge to mod = $$$$$$$$$$$$
Can't wait to get out of college and get a real job!
Is it just me, or do all significant others whine MUCHO about us guys putting money into our cars? Every time I ask "What do you think about these rims? Do you think I should get HID? What car should I get next?", she ignores me

I spend about 30-50% on my max{s}. At times I spend 120% though , I am going to try to control my spending on my new max though. I still want another part time job, that way I could do anything I want to my car!
