I get it man I'm in the same boat. I'm a full time student now in business/computer science and it takes all my free time. As much as I have always loved cars, I hate that mine is just sitting there pretty much stock lol. Only 1 semester left then I can get started hopefully.

all in due time man. i got my car in july 2008. it was stock for 3 years until 2011 when i first started modding it with the little things like hids, tints, and oem honda wheels and a cheap audio system. after 2013 i pretty much went HAM and spent a shit load of money between summer of 2013-PRESENT
