Default why cant i leave things alone

tracey and i bought a mondeo as a run about somthing sensible to go shopping with and leave at lakeside etc, as i wont leave either of the cossie's anywhere.i thought i could leave it alone and just drive it but ive just found myself fitting a cd player and 2 12"subs into it and ive got a set of cossie wheels for it,but im now thinking once the wheels are on its gonna need lowering,.... why cant i just leave well alone lol

I'm in the same spot mate.

After Rachel's 2i was killed we purchased an Audi A4 estate. Same idea as you in that it would be somthing to just park up and use and not be constantly worried about.

I'd had it on my driveway for 20 minutes before the stereo fell out of the dashboard and somehow the Kenwood head unit and changer from the 2i found a nice new home. Now I'm looking at slapping a set of Massitaly VT5R's on it as well as the hubcaps just look so naff.

I can see me getting into trouble with the missus

I always find myself looking for cars to buy so that I can put my spare parts on it. I know I've got it bad.

well then as u waas driving into trax, me and carl were walking along side your car, but didnt say anything cos at something like that it could be anyone!!!

Noticed it cos i have on mine 'No, this is not my boyfriends car' great minds think alike huh... bet she gets lots of people looking at it, sometimes when iam at traffic lights i see people slightly lean forward and then smirk sorta, or people behind me in traffic jams say s ummit to their mates whilst pointing at my reg... its ace...

hmm i dont think it will ever be magazine material

the only reason i wanted alloys was because the biscuit rims need new tyres so i thought a wider wheel made sence hence some Ł40 cossie lattice rims for ebay, but i do admit i did look at soemrs bumpers and skirts on ebay but managed to not bid on them

I'm sposed to have kerbed the spending on mine but ideas are still popping up. Really hoping I'm not going to need to sell the motor to get this house sorted.

You can sleep in a car but you can't race a house

Lol,

that's why I bought a Derv Xsara. Can just dump it everywhere, even thiefs won't be seen dead in it. And wen it's sat there I never think "well it would look nice with alloys" I just think, "piece of shit".
