after much thought, I don't want anything for Christmas. How is it acceptable for me to want more to add onto what I already have. There are far too many people less privilaged than I for me to covet some part for my car that will augment my horsepower. I want to just be content with what I have. How come the people who have the least are the most content?
Keep in mind how blessed we all are financially contrasted to those in India or third world country of the like.

Yeah I took that philosophy class a few quarters ago too. Are you going to sell your Stang and send them the money from it for food?? I saw a guy at the 7/11 that didn't have anything the other night when I was picking up beer and he wanted to find a job or some money for two hotdogs. I took him back inside and bought him about 20 bucks worth of food and got the clerk to get him a phone book so he could look for a shelter. If I can still afford to buy the SCT Livewire after I get my tax return, then I will still buy it. I guess that is acceptable since that is less or equal to the amount of money you have spent modding your car.
People with the least aren't necessarily the most content, the ones that are content are the ones who accept their situation, have a belief system, and live within those. People who have the least are definitely content for shorter periods of time with a little more than they are used to having, but I doubt your theory will hold true if you go from having money to having none. I am alot happier now making enough money to support myself and my family comfortably than I was 6 years ago when I was putting food, paper plates, and my work car payment on credit cards just to continue to eat and make the money I was making. Not exactly a sob story compared to a Somalian teenager living in a wartorn country experiencing famine, or some of the situations we find right here in America, but I was still less happy than I am now with the same people in my life and more money.
Basically what I am saying is unmodded 07 GT > unmodded 93 GT as far as happiness goes.
