Default Things to do on a tight budget.

I work full time, but I also pay a lot of bills, so I don't end up with much money at the end of the month (anyone else in this situation?). I'm wondering what other people in my situation are doing to their cars to make them the most fun to drive and increase performance while on a tight budget? Are there things you can do that might take more work, but don't cost as much if you put the work into it?

Basically, I love working on my car, but I can't always afford new stuff, so what can I do to scratch the car itch without spending a ton of money on it?

diy ground wires, rsx-s rear sway w/ es bushings, diy w/ es motor mounts. If you like to work on your car and do this all yourself, you would only spend around $100. These will make a difference.

I also work full time and have a lot of bills. I just put it on a credit card and pay if off slowly.
