ok, i didnt include cost of the car which my daddy bought me, we got it for $13800 + $6565 = $20365.

ive been wanting a new car for a while now, but thought it would be impossible for me to save for one with my new house payment, but ive just decided that im buying a purge kit and THATS IT!!!!!!! im saving for a new car.

[edit] $240 for nitrous install + 20365 = $20605

I think the total is approaching about $8K once my turbo is put in and I get the gauges. I also just got my car last March and I am putting everything onto my trade in- the same Civic but 5 speed. Probably lost a little $ on that but could not stand the automatic!
Isn't it worth it though? I can't think of any place I would rather spend my $, well, since I am a girl I would like a Fendi bag

i'm not even gonna start. haha. far too much. and i have nothing to show for it. as for customizing being better than a new sports car. common, a Civic, Vs, say an S2000, or 350Z. It will never drive the same as a nice S2k will Stock, with warranty, and you'll be able to get a lot more back.

And I only have the car for 2 months. I project another 10-15K in the next 1-2 yrs.
I dont think about how much I spend. I get payed every 2 weeks. Once check for the bills, and one for the car. I'm working a lot, which keeps me outta trouble and my mind focused on work and my car, so I guess it's win-win situation either way.
