I was just giving you a hard time. As for actually owning a modified vehicle, I love every minute of it. They tend to break more often than stock vehicles though, but it's a price I've come to accept. Toy Yoda,

I don't know. But the mentality exists regardless of the economic class. You got the low end: souped up scions; then souped up supras; then souped up Mustangs, Nissans and Infinitis, and Lexus; then souped up mercs, bmw, audis (I'm in this class.); then souped up Porsches; then souped up Aston Martins;then souped up Lambos and Ferraris. Notice for any class, most of the owners worry about the previous class "catching up", and day dream about being rich enough to go to the next class. And then there's a handful of owners of each class that are happy with what they have and just wanna have fun driving. Who buys souped up cars? I don’t know.

It's been out for about a year now. The original was a wide body concept. Although it does look tacky, there are things about it that I do like. First, I like the side vent body panels. The original Tension concept side vent body panel looked fantastic, this one, however, is not so nice. I also like the air intake before the rear wheels to channel more air to the rear brakes. The side profile of the original tension concept MINUS the wing, was alot more interesting than the original 6 series profile, in my opinion. **This** version of the Tension from the side profile isn't any better than the original 6 or worse; it's just different. You can probably order these parts in different colors so if you don't like the two-tone scheme, you don't have to have it. The front intake is not my cup of tea. The back trunk is a much better improvement over the stock 6 trunk for the coupe. The stock 6 back trunk for the convertible fits the car just nicely. Finally the rims are the prettiest I've seen for the 6, but they are the lightest rims I've found so far. So 6 series owners like me, this is good news, we are finally seeing some mod products out there for our car, even if it's not that pretty. A few things:
