Pay it off first. Why? Because that's what I'm doing too, and misery loves company

Pay it off, you will have a much better feeling! Debt is a huge load, and it is ALWAYS more risk than not having it, because if the economy goes to crap, or you lose your job, etc, you will own the car free and clear.

Just wanted to point out (since I have experience here), that having a car paid off while being laid off isn't as helpful in the short run as having cash in the bank to cover rent/house payment/food...

You can easily invest monthly payments to get better than 1.9% return. This invesment should be viewed as a safety net in case of unexpected events.

I don't think you should even ask for others' opinions on what you should do with your own money. Do what makes you happy. Or do what you know is right. I think modding will make you happier now, but having the car paid off will have you happier in the long run.
