total cost for my mods...

[2K3 MSP]

I just got back from dropping off the cash for my new Tein SS coilovers, and figured I'd add up all the receipts I have for things I've bought for my MSP...It came out to be just over $6,000!! And that doesn't include little things I didn't keep/get receipts for. All since January 23rd of last year. Damn, that's crazy....Anybody else feel like adding up their receipts??

 

[L8R]
