Give me motivation

So I just bought my 06 lancer last week and before I bought it I knew I wanted to go f/i so ive raised about $375 this last week to start saving for a turbo kit, but I keep finding myself clicking on ebay and being very tempted and checking out spoilers, aem intakes, rims, etc...

Please, I need people to yell at me and call me a dumbass and not to blow my money on appearance or na mods, but to keep saving for my turbo kit! Tell me how much you love your turbo lancer and make me want to keep saving

Coming from one who recently turbo'd his Lancer, SAVE SAVE SAVE! I had to save for like 6 months and sell a bunch of mods I had as N/A to do it and it is soooo worth it. I'm about to go stage 2 as well! The first time you feel that boost, you'll just smile and say, "This is so worth the wait!"

definatly save your $$$ it will be well worth it trust me, none of those things you are looking at on ebay will give as much satisfaction as a turbo, especially when some rice civic or srt sneaks up on you thinking lancers are slow as fudge and tries to show of for their girl and you totally smoke them, and they are like wtf?!?

My car is prety stock aside from the turbo, and clutch, and some minor visual features done by myself, and i love it.
