Someone will always have more money than you do, no matter what your hobby is. I'm not about to put a bunch of crap I don't want, and $30K in body work into my car to impress 1 or 2 judges for a plastic trophy. Nor am I going to spend $12K on an engine build, and turbo to run 11's in the 1/4 mile. My car is transportation, and I'm lucky if I can even get up to the speed limit most of the time in atlanta's traffic. I'm not a racer, no one is paying me to go to commerce and run, and they never will. As long as my car is fun then I'm happy with it, and I'm not going to have a $50K car worth $10K, that doesn't net me anything other than a way to get from point A to point B in the same stop and go line that everyone else is in. A few teenagers might think your car is bad, but the average person thinks your a moron for not investing your money on something that appreciates. A car doesn't make a person. Get a bently, corvette, w/e, your still not impressing anyone. So whatever car you get, and whatever you do to it, make sure it's for yourself.
