Rep Power: 340 I just re-figured how much I've spent, and it come to just over $5,600. Yes, I do regret spending that much money. I'm happy with what I got for it, but to be completely honest, I wish I would've added that to the car fund and gotten a Trans Am or something. Or hell, for even less, I could've had a nice black brand new Prelude.
