I can understand the reason for an exhaust that adds 20hp, but I rarely run the car to 7k RPM anyway, and with other priorities it doesn't make sense for me to keep throwing money at a car - I'd rather keep it in the money market/ru2k fund/favorite investment and earn 10% on my money to buy the next car, or trip to drive around Europe, or whatever.
I love the guys who respond to threads hawking their services as a financial planner.
Last year, my 401k lost an amount equivalent to what I could have spent on wheels, tires and an Amuse kit, but I've got nothing to show for it other than some really depressing statements.
Hmph.

Blasphemy! Everyone knows only Christmas Tree air fresheners add horsepower! And that's only if they are hung from the rear view mirror.

The only thing better is when you tell people how you spent your money and then they try to tell you how they would have spent it instead.
