Why do you spend money on your car?

My car always behaves and does me proud so she always gets treated :)

I always tell myself better having a hobby like this than wasting my money on drink and wasting weekends away with booze and hangover.

GT comes out bodyshop tomorrow missed her sooooo much lol

my girlfriend is great. she is cheaper to run that a solar-powered moped ;)

Ha Ha same here, proper low matainance. it's great.

Well i don't really drink, so if i didn't spend it on the car it'd just be in the bank. that's not the safest place at the moment so that's my justifacation

To keep me angry for 60% of the time and to keep me happy 40% of the time.
But it keeps me proud 100% of the time. Built not Bought.

i love cars always have and always will i love the smell of petrol and burnt tires and wat better way to spend my money only on the thing i love see i dont smoke and dont drink very much or at all really and my friends laugh at me wen i tell em how much i put into my car only for it to be turned back on them wen i ask them how much they spend on drink and fags and at least wat i spend mine on i have somethin to show for it

P.s. Im not a dry shite lol just never seen the attraction to drink and fags

She is sitting next to you there isn't she.

My g/f likes and respects the car side of my life which is pretty good,presents are always car gear (last was the blitz sbc III +power id) and she's handy with a spanner:)

Obviously she gets more attention but the car doesnt always love me back,sometimes it hates me

Although i can put bigger things on the car without a word :haha::haha::haha:

I do spend too much on my cars,

At the same time i love going out with my mates, drinking having a bit of a smoke. I used to go out more when i was younger but still do go out no and then. I go through phases.

Reason i spend so much on the motors, im addicted. The saticfaction of testing the cars new performance or weather its cosmetic just stopping and looking what youve desighned so to speak.

But as i said even though i love my cars i cant emphasis enough how much i enjoy a really good night out. I dont look at it as pissing it up the wall unless its every weekend doing it as theres nothing better to do.......

mate i spend all my money on my car as i dont EVER go out! not once, never been on holiday either, the furthest ive been it my uni in birmingham 25 miles away.

trust me its depressing! but hey my car cheers me up so it deserves the money i throw at it plus if i didnt then the wife would be nudging me to buy her 22 carat gold earings and rings all the time!

My car isn't my life.

My main priorities are my friends and girlfriend. I meet up, go out for drinks at least once a week. It isn't wasting your money, its called having fun and you don't wanna look back on your youth thinking christ I wish i hadn't spend so much on my car.


My car gets a treat now and then but at the end of the day its still a car and having a good time with friends is second to none.

Addiction! Especially since I bought this bloody 4EFTE.

I've spent like £1200 on it since I got the engine, whoops.

I don't mind though because I'm enjoying the build! :)

Money gets spent on the car because I can spend it. Simple as.

My cars have always been a godsend to me since I got my first car a year after passing my test. It gave me the freedom to go out and do what I want or go where I want and by changing bits on them here and there it made the driving experience so much better. If I am bored I will go out for a drive and come back feeling happier no doubt.

Alot of my social life is based around the car aswell. It takes me places to go and chill out with my mates like the cinema or bowling and so on and we have even had some brilliant nights just driving around for no real reason before stopping and generally having a good laugh. Also met a few good people I wouldn't know otherwise through sharing a common interest.

I don't spend that much money on the car to be honest because I tend to buy sensibly modded cars which works out cheaper than buying them all yourself obviously. I love going out into town for a night or wasting my weekends sitting in the pub with my mates I don't get to see much too but I would probably class that as another hobby so I don't mind spending the money.

All in all I don't have any problems with the amount of money that I have spent on any of the cars I have owned and will continue to do so as long as I can. I have had plenty of good times and laughs involving cars so its money well spent for me. If people don't like it then thats fine. I mean there are folk out there who will spend (somehow) thousands of pounds on clothes or make up only to either never use it or just put it on for practise but thats up to them if they want to do that.
