Default How many people spend more on mods than the value of your car?

As the topic states...how many of you are driving around in a Honda/Acura (or otherwise) in which the total amount of your mods exceeds the value (Blue Book, NADA) of your car?

Crucial, no need to post here. I already know your mods are worth more than your hatch. :lmao:
