ok, since ive been surfing this Forum ive been looking at everyones pictures and mods theyve done the their Celi. and i have to know how you guys do it. im not talking about how machanically,i mean funding and time. I mean i have somethings that keep me from being about to spend a lot of money to mod my car, my daughter and my wife eat my money up pretty well, bills and what have you but i know im not the only one here that has responsibilities like these. If you saw my Celi you would cry, im just now able to afford a EGR valve and a new Brights head light assembly that im hopping will allow it to pass inspection. and dont get me wrong, i love my car and would work on it ........most of the day if i could, but some of the things you guys have done are crazy.

im not looking for advice, and im not bashing you all either, hell more power to yah

Im just wondering how you all did it, and how much time it took for you to get to where your at now.

some people don't have as many responsabilities as you do, but some others do, it's insane to dump a whole paycheck in a car even if you don't need the money for anything else, most people here have built their cars over the years, is not a 2 months process, you just need to know what you wanna do to the car and what parts you need to acomplish that, then start buying stuff one thing at the time. Being patient is the key, cars is an expensive hobbie and is the wosrt wasted money ever, you don't get back the money you put on cars, but we sure have fun smile.gif .

Hell no!!

Getting drunk every weekend going out to the bar/disco and waisting 150-200 dollar/euro on drinks and taxi (need to get home wink.gif is what I call really wasting money. Only thing left at the end of the night/morning is you pissing away all the expensive drinks and maybe got some ****** smile.gif

Dont know if that culture is the same in the US, but here it is for young people.


Oh I forgot. You guys cant drink below 21. We can laugh.gif laugh.gif
