Well you did say "break." That only implies a pause before continuation

You're not done. Trust me. Never, ever, ever, ever done. Ever.


EDIT: You can write "I'm done." However, those two words must IMMEDIATELY be followed by these two words: "For now."

don't think of it as modding, think of it as maintenance work and you'll be much happier.

Done? what is this done you speak of? Have I missed something? Is there an end state goal? I thought it was "He who dies with the most mods wins" I may never be done, but there are more than enough times when my wallet is satisfied with my build! I think Mellon said it today in another thread very well " . . . when my wallet quits smoking . . . "

it never ends. cuz when you finish one part of the car you move on to the next. ive said over and over that this will be my last part, but it never is. i am finished with the power mods, since there really is nothing left i can do without doing bigger turbo or built motor. so now we move on to suspension....then to looks...then to.....
