Default The rise and Fall of Zerafians Z

My car has just been taken from me...sadly I made some bad decisions with my money and well, I paid for it with getting her repossessed. I guess everyone learns life lessons at some point:dunno: I honestly shed a tear during the part out and today when she was taken away.

First week I had her, September 2006


June 2008 Coilovers, Exhaust, Sound System






November 2008 06+ rims, roof overlay, spacers, eyelids



March 2009 VOLKS



September 2009 BODY WORK..11 weeks of to much to list




January 2010 Seibon TS hood, 06+ lights, JDM side markers, berk HFC, Injen CAI




January 2011..Downfall begins volks gone, 06+ lights gone, jdm tails, engine mods, seibon ts hood



THE END




Im not looking for advice or for people to tell me what I should have done...Whats done is done and Iv paid the price. I just wanted to share the progress of my car over the years... The only advice I would give...which is common sense to me as of september 2010 when I lost my job...pay the car off before modding

sorry to see it, but the last sentence of your first post should be heeded by all. You never know whats going to happen in the future no matter how secure you feel now.

I really need to listen to that advice too, although, fortunately, my Z is paid for. In the past, I have poured tons of money into cars before paying them off though, and probably will in the future too.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. It's true, I'd be screwed if I lost my job as well. In fact, how can anyone finance a car or house for x number of years and guarantee job security at the same time?

Here's to hoping things will get better soon...

did you take out title loans on the car? i am a little curious how after 5 years of payments, the car was still so far from paid off that selling the volks or something couldnt have covered it?

i am not trying to criticize or be a jerk, just curious is all. im sorry to hear about your loss.

Its cool man, thats a legit question. Back in 06' I really had no credit, no loans, no credit cards, so I had to get a cosigner. Sadly my only available cosigner had bad credit but they still approved us because I had a good job back then and I could prove good income. It was financed through the dealership and come 2011 with numerous attempts they would not refinance and no bank would give me a loan for the remainder, which I wasnt surprised about at all.

Im not even going into what I should have done.
