As much as I love my shorty antenna....sometimes certain radio stations dont come in as clear as I would like. Good thing I listen to cd's and music videos mostly. smile.gif

Underbody neons. I look back and think, "What was the point? What a waste of money"
But then I consider the multi-thousand dollars I spent on body kits and paint, and think, "yeah, but it looked so damn good"

or possibly the Korean Spec BROS Gauges that made the vehicle inspection personnel flag my car as having a potentially altered odometer and making it impossible to trade to the dealership.

I agree with the short antenna. Also, didn't like a lightweight flywheel. The 2-3 hp regained wasn't worth the sacrifice of stop and go driveability with a heavy duty clutch.

Drilling holes in my engine bay for mods that came and went. Bay looks like swiss cheese and needs to get patched and painted before I can drop the new motor in.

Removing Power Steering and Air Conditioning components for more room in engine bay and less drag on the engine. It's just not worth it on a daily. I've come to find that the best option is to make your car go fast and be comfortable. You can't have 100% of both (i.e. weight vs. luxury, etc..)

Patreezy I'm going to have to disagree with you on the steering. If the State didn't force me, I'd never put mine back together. But a/c is a MUST have for a daily driver
