as i was driving today i thought about all the stuff i bought for my car and how much they cost. so just wondering... how much money have you guys spent on your car after you bought it? not counting basic maintenance and what-not. i bought my car for $5000. and so far i've spent about $2146 during the 1 year and 6 months i've had my car.

Damn Madmods!
Well I've spent a fortune on my car too,
and it looks pretty much standard.
I've spent close to $AUS7,500, could be more.
Thats not including the Varis Arising II bodykit ($3000)
and maintenance.
It hurts to look back and work out how much you spent
on your car. But I dont mind spending money on something
I enjoy and love

I wasnt talking second car, I was referring to the extraordinary amount of money ur spending on a celica when you can easily buy a much nicer car, but w/e if you wanna take shots at 2nd cars like an immature lil kid then go for it, but no matter what you say I still didnt spend 30K on a Celica and prop my 1.8T on a pedestal when it got spanked by the Streetzking.

$15k plus on mods. Not a sound investment but definitely a fun hobby.

its hobby you should know that just about as well as the next person on here...there really isn't a point in spending money modifing cars..it yeilds no investment or gain on return it just eats money and depreciates with the more you put into it.. its about the pure satisfaction and joy in doing something you love...and i didn't pedestal the jetta i mearly said it will do just fine...and yea nick beat me in a 1/10th mile race it was impressive..you over it yet? it wasn't that incredible

I guess I draw the line a lil lower than 30k is all.

And no, I'm not over it yet. Wheres the vid, Nick?
