Re: Guess how much I've spent...

I've been saving. 500 for engine build. New water pump oil pump seals belts gaskets and other misc parts. it isn't free lol. Total spent in 6 years would be well over 25k I'm sure. Purchase price was 12.5k.

exactly. money will always come and go. in some cases, it'll go a lot faster than it comes . but you only have one life, and if you dont live it up, why exist at all?

Agreed! haha... I wish I had money like that to spend, then again, all the money I've put into my Civic will be gone... My stepdad bought an Acura TL Type S a few weeks ago, and now his 1yr old '07 Si is sitting around... I'm going to go pick it up this Spring Break and leave my car there... the Si is fully loaded with the HFP package + extras! Then, I gotta save money up again to start ALL over again... except this time I won't have to spend money on rims, kit, suspension... AND the engine! haha K20 > my non-vtec D17...
