Since i've had it? hmmmm....

bout $10k-12k roughly i guess...

between engines, transmissions, clutches, suspension, wheels/tires, performance, it all kinda adds up after a while...

I'm around 13k total including the cost of my car 3 years ago for 6200. Swapping for 4.11s was the first time I've ever had to pay someone else for labor. A few insurance deductibles for repainting thrown in there too
