Dude, no complaining when you are only 18 and have a G35. My G35 is one of the very few nice modern cars I ever ever owned and I have 20 years on you.

I"d be driving a cheaper car if I was only making a G a month.

Try to be conservative about modding or it might get out of hand...that never happends around here does it?????

If everything goes well, I'm about to put a few G's into modding.

But in general, I don't see putting more than 10k into a G35. Might as well save that money and use it to upgrade to a better car later

I just spend and don't think about it how much I've spent so far. Someday I'll add it up and probably die from a heartattack

But right now...I'm broke

wow a G a month, yet u could afford a G. goodluck with the mod bug. i've learned along time, modding = $$$. if you dont got it, dont even think about it. you will just make it hard on yourself.

seriously... wait until you have a mortgage, home insurance, car insurance, other housing costs (gas, electricity, maint, etc), pay for your own fuel, groceries, phone bill, etc etc...

boo hoo for being 18 without any money to mod.

^ why wouldn't you pay for those expenses? that's not "boo-hoo", that's reality. are you making car payments as well, or did you save up and pay cash for your G?

you could get a new job - one that pays more than $1K/mo - to help supplement your modding, if that really is a priority for you.

or another thought: sell the G, buy a nice 240sx (for example) and with the $10-15K left over mod the 240 to your heart's delight.
