as i was driving today i thought about all the stuff i bought for my car and how much they cost. so just wondering... how much money have you guys spent on your car after you bought it? not counting basic maintenance and what-not. i bought my car for $5000. and so far i've spent about $2146 during the 1 year and 6 months i've had my car.

QUOTE(madmods @ Apr 3, 2006 - 4:13 PM) [snapback]417071[/snapback] 123,670 dollars Damn Madmods! Well I've spent a fortune on my car too, and it looks pretty much standard. I've spent close to $AUS7,500, could be more. Thats not including the Varis Arising II bodykit ($3000) and maintenance. It hurts to look back and work out how much you spent on your car. But I dont mind spending money on something I enjoy and love This post has been edited by CelicaZR: Apr 3, 2006 - 8:33 AM -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
