How much you've spent on your car?, I'm new so mines easy :) Options

[funnyboy117]

I just got a new addition to my car, so I thought I'd tally up all of the money I've spent (not counting maintanence and time) and get some vague descriptions in there....here goes:

$7000-Price out the door from dealer
$2200-Initial money for sound system
$70-Dynamat trunk kit
$1600-Wheels and Tires
+ $350-Kenwood Music Keg
$11,220

If only our cars were worth how much we spent on them...so how is it for you guys? I'm probably near the lowest on the site, but I'd like to see what you guys all spend your money on.

Also, you cant really count the actual cost of the car, since its not ON the car, its the car...ya know?

[ghostdog]

yup. hella repost, but thats ok. its been a while since the last one
