How much cash have you guys put into your cars?
I so far I have bought my car for
$6000 canadian and a $300 kenwood mp3/cd deck Currently I'm a full time student with a part time job makin just over $300 per pay check. I saved up for two years and bought the car so I don't have any payments to make on it.. I'm considering modding it but I still haven't decided.. I'm just wondering how much money everyone has put into their rides, and how long it's taken them to do so.. basically right now I'm saving up for a swap, and then seeing if I really want to go through with it once I can afford it.

I put a few bills over $10,000 into my old 4dr teg (Magic Show) RIP.
Forged internals, head work, LSVtec, Custom Turbo Setup, suspension, some audio stuff. I really loved that car... Damn Volvo... So far, the hatchback only has about $6000 into it.... Forged internals, some stereo, new brake setup, new suspension parts, etc... basically restoring the rest of it.... Kinda makes me feel a little cracked when I think about all the flow I've spent on a friggin econobox. But hey... they still beat the piss out of some quick cars.... so maybe it's worth it... X2
