I'm pretty much a "stock" kind of guy now.  When I'm shopping for a car, I look for something that needs no upgrades, at least as far as my pocket book is concerned.  The car has to have enough power, good enough gas mileage, nice rims and tires as well as a good sound system.  That being said, as a youngster there was no way to get all those things in a car when you're making minimum wage, so you had to buy a car and "accessorize" it as you could afford it.  MSNauto shows you how to upgrade your cars performance and mpg while showing you other things to do to your car to make it better!  Darby
