How much do you spend on your cars?

I just realized how much i spent on my car the last month. I could easly drop a couple of paychecks in a short period of time. I just couldn' t belive how fast it added up.

Enough to keep it well serviced, emaculately clean and full of 93. Never a stretch for me, otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it.

I try not to add it up. It's always too much. I still want more though.

I spend way too much. I could have so much other cool shit, but then i'd have a boring car. And we all know boring cars are no fun.

I thought I was bad. Of course, I'm not as much into performance as everyone else though.

at first i tryed to get as much stuff done as i would like.
i mean, why would you wait to get intake, headers, etc.. 1 year after youve owned the car.
why not get everything in the beginning and enjoy it?
because you will end of spending more than you thought!
my estimate is probably less than 2500.
if you dont get a nice set or rims, there is alot of room for other mods.

Hahaha...yeah but you went thru three sets of rims, tons of stickers and neon lights and strobe lights, like 5 completely different systems, 4 different intakes, 3 different exhaust systems, chip and then no chip...NOT EXAGGERATING!!!

Yea, but it's gonna be fun.


Price of a 1990 Eagle talon: $2800
Price of a new port and polished head: $1500
Price of a new turbo: $700
Price of spanking a M3 with a car that looks stock. PRICELESS
