The mustang game is expensive, i just got back in the game and been spending a lot (not mad at all). Im not flat broke but i have been spending like crazy on it. My pops thinks im wasting money but i told him its a hobby just like gardening ( lady across the street stays gardening and was out so i thought it was a good example) and said she spends alot on that haha. he had nothing to say after i explained to him that its a hobby.

I never usually go crazy. I feel its better to take it easy and do it alittle at a time. That way itll keep it from getting bored of the car

I actually can't say I'm broke cause I take my time to put everything together n I do it lil by lil but always try to put more aside n take my time sometimes it sucks cause u see ppl getting faster n you want to blow hella money on it but don't have that luxury have a son n rent to take care of before pleasures but must say it feels good to know I can still dump money on my bitch but will just take longer than usual to get it where I want but I love this hobby have owned a sport car since I was 16 n have never been without one since

broke? irresponsible? hell yes, spend my welfare check each month on mods. even though pockets are dry, hey at least i have a bad ass car
kidding aside, gone through modding nearly every single of the 9 stangs ive had and learned overtime to not spend beyond my means. last several projects ran about(including car). 92 fobra ~$10k, 94 faleen ~$18k, 97 termy fobra 30-35k+ but i budgeted wisely for each car and used cold hard cash to fund all of these projects
remember, if you're using cards to fund your hobby and running monthly credit card balances paying interewst, perhaps its time to re-evaluate your priorities and decide if you might be spending irresponsibly on your toys.
dont let stupid spending break you!

I put every penny earned in to my 94 Mustang that end up stolen, recovered, and dropped 1,800 to get it running. After the thieves lefts it un-drivable on the side of the road. then sold it for 6k and lost plenty of money.thanks to this bull shit economy.
Could have saved and bought a F40...LoL
Minus getting your shit stolen; there no other place I rather be throwing my money away, than in an automobile(n strippers)
