$ spent on your car, rough guestimate Options

[j0e_p3t]

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.

+modification only...
springs - 150
shocks/struts - 150
wheels & tires - 450
alarm system - 200
wet sand & compound - 150
auto to manual swap - 1000
= $2100

+ maintenance...
car washes - about 200
had the coolant flushed and filled - 60
belts started making noise, replaced all - 200
brake job, got f-ed up, ending cost - 300
oil change every 3k miles at about $20 each time - 240
deductable for repairs from the accident - 500
replaced craked tails and broken hi-beam - 250
countless times i've had tires get f-ed up and been forced to buy new sets - lost count long ago, must be at least 1000 by now
little things i don't find the need to keep track of - probably about 500+
= $3250+

all the above - 5350
the car itself - 6000 [incl. tax, title, etc.]
= $11,350
for a little more i could have bought an n/a supra
