Generally people in that situation wouldnt have the spare cash to blow on mods in the first place, even IF they got the cheaper one.

I said it once before, I'll say it again - get a freaking Nismo if you DON'T want to mod, or you have a ****-ton of cash to blow around. Unless your name is motoextreme.

HAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

That's not nice...

Its not that I wanted to blow a ton of cash, just purchased a cheaper car so I would have $ to make it my own. Already owned all the exotics, they don't do it for me as anyone can finance something. I just want a Drivers car that I feel I had a role in building.

All kidding aside...I'm out of ideas for mods until that SC system comes out. I truly can't think of a thing Suppose that's good news.

Guess I just need to open all these boxes and enjoy the car now

PS. I dont mean Cheaper in a bad sense but rather compared to a Porsche or other exotic. That comment will get me booted from the board!

P.S.S. He sounds young, I sure the heck couldnt afford a Z in my early 20's.

Bear in mind I'm so old I'm saving up for mods for my coffin. Think I may do the vented lid, carbon fiber sides and maybe the Volk roller wheels on the bottom. Can't decide if I should go Carbon Kevlar for the bed back or just straight carbon. Titanium hinges are definitely a must though!!

Dude, a car-themed coffin would be sick. Make sure to get the stick-on fender vents, too lol.

Anyway, trust me I understand your situation. And from the sounds of it, you have that cash to blow if you want. Younger guys just don't generally, its just the way it is heh.

Its all good...

Tell us again why your working on Christmas? Guess I can't blame you, I have 40 emails from our Hong Kong office that I can't get myself to respond to yet. Today's a day to relax and not feel pressured to do ANYTHING!

Time for a beer yet?

Just a small gear in a massive machine, per say. But yes, if I could talk about it, not only would you be interested, but somewhat terrified :-p

In that case I'll act like the rest of the Americans and pretend all is well! I can't build a bunker or buy more guns today being Xmas and all. Maybe something i can put on the list of to-do's for next week

That's cool, sad but cool. Cobra's are sweet.. If I could fit in one I'd have one by now but they are not great for taller guys (unfortunately)
