i love when you see a modded car in autotrader and it lists a ton of parts and then it always says "car has been babied and never raced"

I just like to get my hands dirty and do it myself, and I love the look on someone face when they lose to a lincoln.

I like to mod my cars myself.That way you know what you have.You know the work was done right.Then when you have a problem you can usualy trouble shoot it and fix it yourself.If your into modded,fast cars you better learn how to work on them otherwise the cost of labor alone will kill you.Only things I dont do on my own is port work,rebuilding,tuning.Those things are usualy better off left to pro's.

i bought a modded car once with tons of stereo , engine, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades, but the man had receipts for EVEYTHING he had done to the car.It really depends on the seller i guess,if its some 17 year old kid who "rebuilt his Integra's motor", then i wouldnt trust his shit at all.
