This would be a daily thumper for his wife - hey, the guy drives an '05 Rolls Royce Phantom- money isn't much of an issue for him, I guess.

Then I got to thinking about what it would cost me to duplicate the car...
If you consider retail price, the number is staggering. I started to itemize things, but thought better of it. Counting ONLY what is on the car at this moment, I am around $25K in mods.

Holy crap.



Thankfully, I am not married.
Wow... that was a long time ago. I am definitely in the $30K-40K range now, perhaps more. Fortunately, I get to write-off most of my yearly mods.

10-15k here. I love my car so I had no problem spending the money on it. Unfort the car is going to be sold in the next year or so due to a lack of space in my garage

Let's put the blame right where it belongs: It's DAVE'S FAULT. If there was no ClubLexus, I bet 95% of us wouldn't mod nearly as much as we do.

So, damn it!, it's Dave's fault!

When I talk to my accountant, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Lets see, not counting tires, between 00lexondub and me we spent $45,040. Thats if me replacing the K&N filter with a new one counts.

If I spent anywhere near the $ some of you guys/girls spent, the next mod would be of me being run over by my lex by my wife. But wait, since I don't let her drive it, I have nothing to fear!!! Let the mods begin!!!!!!!

I'm close to 10g's and that's just doing the exterior and suspension mods. I'm barely starting to do the interior. good news is that the car is paid for already. so let the mods continue.
