Money management is what it's all about for me. Recently I've had more income to throw at the car, but it doesn't change the game. You could make $200k/year and you'd still have to balance car payments, mortgage/rent, food, etc. I usually limit myself to the amount of mods I do, I usually justify it by getting 'something for myself' for xmas or my b-day (end of may, nice timing-wise). Inbetween I'll try and kid myself by saying I'm not modding by doing 'maintenance' but let's face it...18" rims w/ fresh rubber & $400 brake pads/SS lines aren't exactly doing the bare minimum...but it tides me over. Last year I gave myself cams & alky injection for xmas, but didn't install them until Jan. I will prolly do a clutch in June sometime & then pull the trigger on a bigger turbo later in the year, or maybe xmas time.
It's all about planning, waiting, planning, waiting, and hiding the receipts from Anna!
