I know how you feel.
I was never really a "car guy." I liked different cars and all, but I never got to the point to where I would start modding them or anything.
Then, my lovely Taurus is on it's deathbed, so I need a new car. Oh look, one of those new Mustangs. They look nice, I'll get one.
Now, all I spend my time doing is looking for new mods. Haven't actually bought any yet, because I'm too indecisive. But I guarantee you I wouldn't have thought about any mods if it weren't for this forum and a few others.
I'm not complaining though. I've got an awesome car, I interact on these forums (sometimes, I'm lazy

) with some awesome people, and hopefully I'll be meeting some of these awesome people at some point.
