Roughly 13,000 but that does not mean all the parts are on my car, price could even be over that for things which I obviously can't account for or price it out.

QUOTE (GriffGirl @ Sep 11, 2008 - 9:22 PM)  Wow, that's a lot. I really love my car and am hoping to have a VERY long and fruitful relationship with it, but I just can't see putting 30k into it. I could see putting 10k into it pretty easily, but 30k? I hope that's because the dollar is so low and that's just the conversion rate! LOL Out of the $30k, like $900 was labour for mapping, the rest is all parts (I'm a mechanic so do all of my own work) Im not finished yet though so I could probably see that number doubling  if I ever sell the car (unlikely) therell be one hell of a part out sale

Let's see...nothing?
It all depends on how long I keep this thing, and on one side, I hope I do, but on the other, I also don't want to run into age-related problems later on down the road. But the idea of my car with some sweet 17"s, maybe a spoiler or two, and a couple performance mods would be sick...then again, I sort of have a problem with making an auto fast. IDK
