For my 02 SI I have $40 into it now. LOL. I'm paying off bills first, then I'll play with the car.

For the 01 EX coupe I had, $6,000 total. I only owned it for a year and a half. For crazy things for money, umm.............taking out a loan that I couldn't afford is about it. LOL. I'm in the middle of paying that off so yea.

About $3500
don't keep track... what ever $3000 + AutoX entry fees and 20K miles worth of Gas and oil costs
I've sold some stuff on ebay. Not too crazy, but I'm not desperate for cash, and if I can't afford it or don't want to pay for it, I just don't get it.


But seriously, who cares how much everyone else has spent. Do whatever you want to do with your car, and if you enjoy doing it and you're happy, then just pay for it. Just stay out of debt in the process.

1. A little over $18,000. That's including the 3 different rims, 2 different system setups, 2 different exhaust systems, different things like that. Always waisting money by changing things. I need to stop changing things around.
2. Not sure.
3. Nothing too crazy.
