I shudder to think... Here's what I remember right off the top of my head. $6,500 for the first Celica, $250 on underglow (I was young and stupid,) $7,500 for second Celica, $1,600 for a 3S-GTE, $400 for GT4 bumper, $700 for a giant sound system which I got rid of ASAP, $300 for first parts car, $250 for project car, $1,500 for second parts car, a little more than $2,000 for the BEAMS swap, $1,400 for a second BEAMS that isn't doing anything at the moment, $460 for projectors, ~$400 for all the JDM tails I've bought, and call it at least $1,000 for various other expenses that I can't even remember right now, but in all probability it's far more than $1,000.
Just in what I can remember right now, $24,500. That's counting the cost of the cars, of course, and I've gotten some of that back each time I sold the cars or the parts. And sadly, I know that I've barely scratched the surface of what others here have spent for their cars and on their cars. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
