5 Reasons Why I Hate Driving Highly Modified Cars
Whenever I get behind the wheel of a heavily modified motor, I can't help but find a million things that bug me. I love the workmanship and the creativity that goes into builds, but I just don't enjoy driving them
2. They make you hyper aware
The great thing about manufacturers pumping millions of pounds, dollars and yen into research and development is that you can be pretty confident that everything’s going to just work. When you leave a car stock you’re never too worried about clanks and whirrs and groans from under the hood, but when you’ve invested time and money into modifying your car you’re constantly listening out for signs it’s about to die.
If you’re the kind of person who’s happy when stuff goes wrong because it means you get to fix it, that might be fine, but for the rest of humanity being permanently on edge while driving, it isn’t that appealing.
3. Everything you do is multiplied
Once you start going all in on modifying, all the occasional expenses you used to put into your car become a lot more frequent and a lot more expensive. If you currently top up your oil every few months, you’ll find that you’ll be checking it weekly once you fit that new turbo. And it’s not just oil - once you start adding performance, it begins to snowball to other parts of the car. More power? Now you need better brakes. Bigger brakes don’t fit inside your stock wheels? New set of alloys it is, then.
It might be fun seeing a project progress, but there’s rarely a final satisfaction where you know that you’ve finished.
