Question Why cant people understand?

Why can't people understand what I want to do? I'm going to start adding parts such as exhaust, intake and headers an modding it as well.
But the people I work with are just so against it and keep saying not to do it and don't wate your time its a automatic lancer es and laugh at me.
I just want something more fun to drive with a little more horse power. Do any of yall get the same reaction?

I get those reactions all the time. I have a modded IX, and 06 ES 5sp. They all laugh until they see whats under the hood or I take them for a ride. You'll always get that type of reaction from muscle car people. But it's your car, do what you want.

THE HELL WITH THE WORLD. If you listen to everyone else all the time, than you will have a very difficult time. Do what you want to do and forget the rest.

Honestly what your co-workers said is very true. I've spent ton of money on the cars, lot of people around me told me that if i didn't spent money on cars, i probably bought a couple of house already haha

but do i regret? no. Mod car is one of fav hobbie and pride. Yes ive lost lot of money on cars, but it left me a good memory.

True that...
But once you go Turbo then they're not slow.

But if the OP wants a fun car to drive I suggest getting headers, make a custom CAI then convert to SRI in bad rain or snow, and get 2 1/4" exhaust. Other than that just save up your money and go Turbo.
Good luck man

Yeah honestly theres nothing wrong with automatic cars and modifying them. Driving a manual would probably make your experience even more funner. I on the other hand would pick a manual to make fast and a automatic to just cruise and make look nice (i.e. bmw 330i to cruise and a M3 for manual.)
