Well, I happen to be in college, and not a cheap one by any means. I am proud to drive an SVT. However, my car is nothing for this campus. In one parking lot alone, a freshman parking lot, there currently sits a brand new '03 Lexus IS 300 6 speed, newer ('00+) MR2 spider, and newer (02+) Audi 1.8T A4. They have the ice and snow sitting on them. And everytime I stop to stare at them, I think, "Hey, that's a waste of money. An expensive car, just sits there in the snow, depreciating." Enjoy the Cav man. I mean it. But I'm not sure about dumping the money into modding it. Potential... sure, it has it. But with each mod, you lose reliability (something the Cav boasts), and you gain nervousness of it sitting outside, susceptible to door digs, drunk drivers, or anything else. If you want to talk about being in college, and how money is a factor, or whatever you were trying to say, go ahead. My $.02 is to drive the cav til you graduate. Then get something worthwhile. For example... my current to buy list for when I graduate is an M3, or maybe I'll splurge and get an E55-AMG.
