[urq] To Modify or Not Modify

[Brandon Rogers]

I'd say it depends on where the "value" of the car lies with you.  For me
the "value" is the fun it brings while driving it, not the idea of having an
"original" car.  If you're waiting for a collector to come offer a collector
price.. I think you will be waiting...and waiting,...and waiting for a long
long time.

If you drive the car- I'd say mod it and drive it like you stole it.
