Uh oh… I see some feelings getting hurt in this thread. It tends to happen when you’ve been in the game for a while and you start adding up receipts.
As for me, i have around ten grand in my car, and its broken right now!

Bout 5k in go fast goodies and another 1k in appearance stuff maybe plus $6700 for the car. She runs in the 11's which was my goal so I'm happy with my expenses so far. Although I'm far from done. A 383 stroker is in the near future

Total-call it an even $13,000. Not as bad as I thought lol
