Hi,
You're absolutely right - it's called
Obsession!
And this can be one of the issues with modding a car, once you start, there's always something more you want to do with it, where does it end?
Ironically, this can actually lead to disappointment or disastisfaction if the $$$ runs out or the enthusiasm wears thin.
And, You can't really rack up any appreciable miles, because your investment will go right along with it. Heavily modded cars are also very often low-milers as well. You try to sell the Car and realize what a bath you've taken. No one would consider buying a secondhand, heavily modded, high-mileage car for anything near the Blue Book value (they think it's either been beat, or they want to do the modding themselves).

Learning takes place, but often it doesn't. These guys are the Idols of the Aftermarket...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
