Bought the car for 12,500 and have at least around 20-22k in the car so somewhere in the ballpark of 33k-35k but with everything added up it is more than that.

I'd make a list but that'll just make me way too depressed.

Car guys seem to play a big part in "stimulating" the economy too.

Ball park: $12,000 not including the 2002 ss a4 i bought bone stock with 78K miles. I've not even got to the suspension yet why the hell do most of us build our cars backwards?? spend a $$$$$ on go fast stuff, then you can't plant the power and then start spending a $$$$$$ on suspension, tires etc. oh well, cant take you're $$ with you.

When you can pretty much build an LS motor/car that would run 11s between you and a friend from spare parts.. You're doing it right.
