Why do people keep on saying this? BLow your money on a car?
Who cares its not your money,, Do you know the person? Maybe he has worked on it for a long time and its a passion,, Better to put your money into a car rather than go drinking,smoke drugs, or whatever.. You cant say its a waste of money or "blow your money away" Thats what he enjoys, thats what he wants, let him do it.. I give him straight up props for doing that.
I hear that enough from people I know,, ohh how can you waste all that money on your car, how can you blow all that money, why not buy a BMW M3 with all that money you spent on your car.. Its my prelude, I will do as I like, I will spend as much as I want.. It gets me nervous hearing this all the time...
Easy bro, it's all good, I'm sure the owner is happy with his ride and I'm sure he gets plenty of joy from it. I agree that cars are a good hobby and very fun to put $$$ in. What it all comes down to is if the owner likes the car or not and I'm sure he does.

I agree on this 110% .. Its funny because if I were to describe my car to many people on these prelude "webboards" It would get all flamed with many people saying "ohh thats bad, you shouldnt do that, spend your money on the motor, bla bla" but when a person is looking at the car in person its a different story.. Example my rims,, When I say I have 19" rims on these boards, people will automatically flame because its not the "JDM LIGHTWAY" and its a big rim,, but whenever I have showed anybody these rims in my garage, they just gaulk and say "ohhh ahhhh" like the Price is right TV Show..
Originally posted by Z Actually that person who owns that car is the owner of Karzone a body shop in Cali that does all kind of crazy conversions. Of course if you own a shop you got to have something to represent your talent and your shop. Overall, it is a very nicely built car, the work done to it is superb and you guys should open your minds up a bit.

A friends uncle owns the place. I think my friend said that he has a skyline, r32 I think.

I'm right there with you. I keep my car clean enough to get some nice comments, but I'm more into speed than looks. To each, their own, right?
