[BadBandar]

I dont like to keep track. I know when i do my taxes and see how much i made. Im like "where is my money going?" Then im like oh yea i got a MSP. But im guessing im near 5-6.5k in mods. But my car is paidoff.

Sweet deal man! With any luck ill knock out the last 8k on my car note before the end of the year if everything goes as planned. Already having another job lined up for when you get laid off ftw. Severance/retention/income tax money to pay off bills ftw of course

If we're including parts, labor, and everything, I've got well over $25k invested with the price of the car, and insurance every month. I've had the car since 06'.

I think he means just repairs and or upgrades.

Then about $10k in upgrades, with labor. :'(

I'm sitting around $1650 right now, but have a $200 deal pending. I plan to spend roughly $400 more this summer so when all is said and done, I'll be around 2250. I'd like to simply maintain it after that point but, knowing me, I'll keep spending money

Is this question about how much I've spent out of pocket???

Corksport radiator, and slimline fans $100 deductible I think it was 500.00 total
MAM FMIC bought used for something like $200 shipped
Split Second gift from wife $350 installed
Bezel Dual gauge pod $225 shipped
Brake setup $250.00
Perrin 3" Exhaust $100 plus stock exhaust trade

Show me a cheap hobby thats considered a hobby by most that doesn't cost a arm and a leg once you get into it.

Show me a cheap hobby thats considered a hobby by most that doesn't cost a arm and a leg once you get into it.

Video Games, sports, gym. 3 things I do for hobbies with friends. Not nearly as expensive.

This is my first car to jump into this hobby. In less then a month I have dropped nearly 12k. Going to spend another 3 very soon.

I have bought games and movies most of my life and probably havent spent half of that. s*** include music....

Anyways, I'm not stopping anytime soon. I have big plans for her. I have a goal and I'm determined to reach it. Yes; like I said, this hobby is very expensive.
