20,000$ the car
5,000$ in mods ~650$ maintenance, oil, coolant, fuel filter etc. Since Sept. 2005. |
if you get a good one to start off, the maintenace should not be costing that much. Now the mods i never keep track of how much i spend....life is to short for that, just be happy.

boy i learned that the hard way! sooo true... |
Good god. Why do you have to ask that? I have spent about $3500 total on a car that won't pass emissions. So luckily I am saving on gas as I ride my bike to work. :-).
It is fine though. I just keep telling myself I am saving for the 20b. |
I bought mine around 5-6 years ago. I've put somewhere around 50-60K into the car alone (NOT including purchase cost of vehicle). I'm STILL not done, but very very close :).

Look at JimLab's post in the other engine forum. Add all of the money up you all have spent, then maybe you will be where he is at... I think he is well over $100k, and it still isn't done!
Me: Salvaged 42k mile car - $8900 parts to get it back on road - $2100 Performance goodies - $5500 Maint/tires for 2 years -$1800 Total -$18,300 and I've put 30,000 more miles on it! |
Bought the car in Oct 2005 for 14.5k, and have spent roughly 16k on mods/rebuild since.

2003, car was stolen for $10,500 :D
Since: $25,000 at least |
