That's in about 1 year - this doesn't count any of the professional level cleaners/detailing products i buy, all the shipping i've paid for items (drive 600miles to pick stuff up), any labour i might have paid (most work done myself), dyno tuning and regular maintenance (new batteries, oil/filters, etc...) or all the damage i've had to pay out of pocket for the car (roughly $2000)

NOTE: For this car, I've lost a few friends, shitloads of my life-hours and my ever-so-loving girlfriend... maybe it's an unhealthy obsession at this point?

also funny/sad - i'm planning on spending about $7,500 more from now to sprin 2006.. god damn it's expensive to have fun.
