Probe GT

Then perhaps, you save a couple thousand and get a turbo, or whatever. Saving up a lot of money to buy a car can be extremely hard, but just saving a week or two's worth of paychecks isnt nearly as difficult. so, you have money to buy mods, and you have a car... what car are you gonna put the mods on? your car. I personally want to do a litte bit of mods to my car this summer, just so I have a little more power, and also mainly so that I can learn something, before I go ahead and try something on a REAL car. That is just my perspective on things...

That's how I live my life. Some of you might be able to put up with a different car, but I am willing to go without a car if that meant I'd save money for what I really wanted.
My earlier post was just a guess as to why people put so much money into such a bad base for a high performance car...
