How much $money$ has everyone spent on their car and mods in total?

i just wanted to know how much everyone has sacrificed for their true love...their car... p.s...anyone picked their car over their gf?

2,350 as of right now at least i think thats right.

gf or car? Hmm....that's a hard one.... LOL My gf has pointed out though that I've been having an "affair" with my car since I first saw her. Hehe

$4300.00 in one year. more to come. and my wife or my car?...........I'm thinking dammit!

I don't want to mod my SL (planning on getting a VR-4 soon) but I'm about to get all new infiniti speakers (3/6 are blown/Scratchy) so that'll be about $450, and the girlfriend thing... if I had a VR-4 yea I would pick the green one :smokin:

I think im about 12 grand into mods now, maybe a little more. I havent added it all up in quite a while.

$4300.00 in one year. more to come.

Whew, I wish I had that kinda money to spend on my car. Hehe Maybe after college....unless if I go to grad school... DOH! :rolleyes:

About fifteen hundred or so. The wife comes first :iceslolan


LOL I always find it interesting when guys/husbands refer to their significant other as "THE" wife or "THE" gf. LOL Why is that??? :iceslolan

i know hah, my grandpa does that and so does my dad. "well i gotta go pick up the wife, i'll see ya later" lol

I know I do it, but I can't remember for the life of me why :screwy:


I'll ask the wife - she'll know :lol2:

lol

Ive spent a grand or so on the engine and several hundreds for the transmission every other month :loser:
My gf comes before the car as of now. But If I get any of the cars I want, then she's just gonna have to live with it :icon16:

I've worked hard for everything I've owned. I bought a '93 3000GT on my own last year. (The VR-4s are too much. Damn!) I also pay for the full coverage insurance. Car payments & insurance is a little over $300 a month. I've dumped about 3 grand in it, give or take. Most of the money was spent on rims/tires and suspension. All of this and I'm a full-time college student. See what you can do when you set your mind (& wallet!) to it? Check it out: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/579018

feels good when you put your blood sweat and tears into it

I have spent about $4000 on my car so far.

dynotek performance exhaust=$650
K&N performance filter kit=$170
tinted windows=$180
stereo system=$500
New tranny=$2500

And more upgrades to come maybe.

HUH? Explorer? Where did you get that from? Of course its on my 96 3000GT. Its just the base model nothing special.

LOLm well osok, in your profile it says you have a 1995 Ford Explorer

:werd:

oops my bad i just updated it.

Nothing special? Well I for one believe that any GT, whether base, SL, or VR4 is pretty damn special. :biggrin:

i agree

osok_deadeye21, if only your synchro's have gone bad there are ways of getting it done fro less than 2500. mine will probably be around $1,000 to fix. i'll buy the parts and they will put the parts in.

Most transmission places wont put a tranny in your car if you buy your own parts its to do with a warranty type of deal. I tried doing it. I was going to buy a used tranny shipped from japan it would of only cost me 1200 bucks and labor. I called around at every single place they said they wont do it and that they cant do it since its not under warranty and they are not responsible. I had to go with mistubishi doing one since I didnt have a friend that could do it for me.

the lot of you spending money on blow off valves and boost adjusters.... i envy you.... big time

my mods
matrix air intake - $70.00
IPT ATX shift kit - $80.00
e2kf downpipe and racepipe - $280.00
Grounding wires - $46.00
more to come

Pearl, what grounding wires did you go with?

well since this is back up,
i've now spent about $3,500 on my car

As far as mods...hell i've had the car 4 days now officially...the other 7 weeks were in the shop.

Repairs...hmm...

then again...i only paid 49.12$ cuzz of that warranty...i dunno what i'd do without it being 18 and in college. btw...mods are gonna be hard to come by considering my monthly car payment is 650$. Why'd a buy such a newer vr4???
