my car was totaled when my parents first got it for my 5 years ago. paid 5k for it back then. It was a '93 VR-4 with 40k miles. Have spent way too much money on fixing it up but after just riding in one i realized that it was all worth it. Anymore my money is being spent on mods but i'd say about 15-17k has been spent on everything. Now that I drive it on a daily basis though i know that I would not take many cars over it, and there are certainly no cars that I could afford that I would rather have.
