Bought the Z26 for 2000... have almost 9000 in it now. Bought the Z28 for 2800, have about 8000 in it now, with another 5000+ to go.

Damn this is an expensive hobby.

i havent put much money in my car at all it sucks, i was planning on putting alot into it then i bought the bike and that kinda destroyed those plans lol thats 8500 that could be in my car

camaro_chic17 02-15-2007 12:09 AM

Too much lol. I have started to add it up a couple times but just thinking of the paint, wheels and transmission is enough to make me stop since it's already up too high imo. Doesn't stop me from spending more though.. heck I am still on my second and third cars so I get my enjoyment out of what I put in
