Where do you guys get the money to do all that modding and STILL have kids?? LOL I wanna be like you guys when I grow up
Simple answer: No kids, no girlfriend, no morgage, cheap rent, decent paying job and I don't drink or smoke = Plenty of cash.

this is a side story but my sister in-law bought a car about a year ago a 2000 chevy tracker2, the motor went out as soon as she got it, one of her gasket's was blown in her rear end and needed something else real cheap to fix it and an axel puller, for some reason you have to pull the axle to change the drums in the back. anyways long story short they didnt fix it and the wheel DID fall off, while going down the road, my father in-law got down there and put the wheel back in there drove it a little while, wheel came back out, theyd shove it back in there, and they did that for about 10 miles to get the car home...
she's driving that car PAST the wheels falling off lol..
and people wonder why i drive an import...

well. bought the 1998 GLE in june 07. no mods so far except stereo.
used pioneer deh-p690ub off ebay - $140.
new infinity basslink sub on clearance at best buy - $180.
clearance 6.5 coaxs to replace stock that had NO surrounds left - $13
pioneer 6x9s 3-ways in boxes i've had for ~3 years - $120
at some point i would like to get some components in the doors, and some good 6.5s in the back to take away the boxes in the back window.
i have MUCH more planned for this though, but being a college student only getting 23 hours at work a week , it'll take a while. ever since my first alti (94 SE-L) i've loved these cars. if you wanna give me some tips on where to buy good parts for good price, send me a pm!
