We are still here but getting much older by the day LOL.
Have to say some of the points above are very valid. Not many that truly mod. Small mods are always being done but just putting some springs and a map isn't really pushing the boundaries.
I think for most it is the financing side which is killing it. People don't have the disposable they once had, and due to quite a lot of people now financing their cars it does mean modding them is no-no.
To help minimise costs this is why people are looking to cheap diesels.
Our whole lives are becoming one big finance deal
