Just curious to know whether or not you count the cost of everything that goes into your ride or do you do it for the passion/pleasure/be different/achievement?

When you have an ST, like me, is worth it?

I LOVE my car (I've had it from new).
It's the first time I have ever customised a car and I don't count the cost... probably just as well as I would probably have a heart attack!

BTW: I'm by no means rich either I've been out of work for just over a year.
(TG for the French state system!).

Well, this celica is the first car i have actually owned. Now seeing as it's the FIRST car i've OWNED, I made myself a promise to never get rid of her no matter what. That being said, I really dont give a !@#$ how much money i spend on the car.

The reason i modify my car is the exact same reasons that where posted above.
It's a passion that i have to work on cars, not just mine. I get an amazing pleasure when i'm working on something and finish it. I try hard to make my car different from others, which is why I'm planning on getting rid of my current body work, and doing something else. Same goes for interior and engine setup. Achievements are accomplished everyday. The way i see it, there's always something to work on.

Now, just because I dont care how much money has been spent on the car, does'nt mean I dont know exactly how much. I can make a list of every single thing I've spent on, and I bet the amount would give me a heart attack. Not to mention all the time spent on it.
