I'm going to answer that question as if it were positive and not passive aggressive (can't quite tell really). "Destroying" is a relative term in the sense that to you it may seem like I am ruining a brand new car where as to me I'm simply adjusting it to suit my liking. All of us on this forum have an idea as to what our car should be in the end, many people probably think you "Destroyed" your Xa by painting it panda color and putting a turbocharger on it but that's exactly what YOU wanted and not anyone else. Isn't that what car customization is all about?

My logic when I first began tearing the interior of my car apart was that I wanted to turn an otherwise mild mannered econo-box into a true competitor at the track as well as an exhilarating weekend canyon car. Although I may not have the budget for a new motor and a custom turbo kit, I can afford to be creative and think of cheap yet effective ways of improving overall driving performance even if that means eliminating certain comforts like air conditioning and sound insulation materials. In conclusion, yes this is all about better handling and overall performance on a budget! Well, that and possibly to inspire others to appreciate their car and realize that the only limitations are one's own imagination. I guess I'm just a little more extreme than others?
