Default how much money is in your car??

im know im not the only one who dumps all there money into their car.
all my money goes to gas, bills, and my car.
i would say i have at least $7000 in my car, and ive only had it about 6 months. but i bet compared to most on this site they triple my price.
so lets see how much money is invested in your car?

Including the price of the car, about $16K, but I did all the work myself except the tune.

I voted $3,000-6,000, but that's only because I was able to sell parts that I replaced. Not figuring in the sale of the stock parts, I get bumped up to the $6,000-9,000 category.
