    think it is more of a free decoration and adds wind resistance as to keep the car safe from exceeding safe speed limits.

    well mods include both external and internal mods, technical and decorative mods.

    not all mods mean puttin a HUGE V12 in the car :D a mod can be changing the display screen of the odometer/spedometer, changing to hand break to leather... aluminum... stuff like that. It doesn't have to increase the speed of the car anyway... hell... can prolly decrease the speed of the car if you want :p

    my point is... a mod is just something that's not factory default

    however... zero's bird crap mod dont count :rolleyes: :D
    otherwise I'd have lik 200-300 more HP on my car too(comes with parking under trees) :p

    I drive a Ford ranger 1996 standard cab.


    I could barely fit my badminton gear bag in my passenger side. I had to switch to a smaller bag :mad:

    But I do get good milage from this truck.

    I wish. If I have the cash I would definitely get a manual F-150 extended cab, fully loaded. :D

    You see, I am 6'1" and long in the legs. I could barely fit in that puny little ranger. It was a gift from my father-in-law so I can't complain about that.

    oic, hey don't we all wish we can get bigger vehicles for our badminton needs. I am considering getting one of those Thule storage box for the roof since I usually travel with at least 2-3 other players when I go play and sometime we get a little cramped with all the equipment bags we got.

    jwu, since you are in the bone shattering cold NE, surely you are gonna tell me that you are putting those extra passengers in the thule box on the car roof, and leave the badminton rackets in the warmth of the car cabin...... right? :)

    Well, worse comes to worst you can always get a trailer and haul all your friends on the trailer and keep the badminton gears nice and cozy.

    haha, well the Thule box can usually fit only one person at most so not very convenient in that sense. Also might need some vent holes. :D

    Yeah right now the car isn't too cramped up since we only got about 3-4 bags at most and the back trunk space is good enough, as long as no one gets any bigger bags or more racquets.

    Just tell your friends that one person one racquet and wear all the gear on the body.:D :D That should save plenty of room for your 20-racquet ultra fancy bag.
