I just wanted to know how much you guys spend on your cars. I look at your celi prof and see that you guys buy a lot for your car. (Performance parts, Interior, Exterior and all...) This will give me a estimated amount of how much i will spend. (you can see what i'm planning on getting on my prof page)

paid 3000 for car with a screwed up tranny and motor. Got all news seals and fixed some of the oil and compression leaks that the motor had; installed a new transmition with centerforce clutch (the clutch cost about 250). New brakes, and all new stock suspension. This was all done for 2500. I have since spent

Cat-back exhaust-300
intake-180

Total including buy the car- rougly 6000
