Question Wherever do you stop???

Ever since I was 17 Ive had this nasty (but enjoyable) habit of changing cars every 6 - 12 months. Am now the proud owner of a wrx ppp for the last month, and am considering upgrading with mods.......aahhhh been down this path several times before. First buy, then upgrade and then want something else, u know smaller, faster, bigger, sportier etc, etc. Will that need for better performance ever end?? Anyone ever modded there scooby so much they now regret it?? Do you hit a point of TOO much power

Dont think I could say I modded it to too much power but certainly regretted throwing in excess of £10k on the car in a few years. Sold it for £7k which meant I'd lost over £15k in the car excluding servicing etc.

Determined not to do it with my current sti8 but already bought a secs unit and am afraid its the start of the modding bug again...........................

Mmm depends if you drive the car every day...you get used to whatever you've got. Don't drive it for a couple of weeks and see how fast it feels...
