Nothing wrong with that. We do what we must with the cash we have. LOL
I just added Cruise Control and air conditioning, as well as FloFit
seats. Of course, one upgrade can lead to surprising complications.

The FloFit seats are coming back out though. Better seats but I sit so
high my head touches the headliner. The solution is to lower the seat
pans. I'm just not ready to tear out the interior in order to do that
right now. So, the original seats are being reupholstered with the
Sport Seat (which has better foam and that makes for better bolsters)
option and headrests. Another problem with the FloFit upgrade was that
the seats are very limited by the rear interior panels, so you can't
recline them very far. Lowering the seatpans and angeling them seems
to be the best solution for "reclining".

Another problem experienced with upgrades is like with my front
suspension. The A/C and seats added enough weight to the front that
with no effort, the tires make contact with the fender lip (especially
on the driver side since I am the only person in the car).
