$10G+ club member here too. Easily. Make that $20G+ club member.

I look at it like this: There aren't many people who have spent less than me who have a car that's more unique and prettier and better in a straight line and cornering and getting other guys to hoot and holla when they see it.

O wait, I don't like that last one.

Injection Into their car or their bodies? lol

obviously for everyone posting here, it's our obsession (one shade or another). It's a productive one IMO.

Like anything else, there is a diminishing returns model. Tons more money in and marginally better results. Goodfellas fikses for example.





I keed too :-D

Rob, Congrats on hitting the 10G mark!! Now go for the 20G

kidding aside, I don't think about it anymore... And I think my wife gave up on me and just told me to not bring any car parts out of the garage and the basement... If I tally up all the spare parts in my house, I say I have close to 25-30K in parts (not including the parts on the cars.. including that, God only knows how much )

See you at the DGRRX!

$10K, so you got a tune up, reliability mods, basic bolt-ons and maybe some coilovers - just the beginning.
