Default How much have you spent on your car?

I was chatting with a friend earlier today car mods and the amount of money both of us had spent on our cars. So i thought it would be fun to know how much the CL community has spent on their rides.

Haven't gotten there just yet with the car, I've only had her for a year so there's more to come. But so far about $2k. The last car I had was at around $6k before I sold it and DAMN do I miss that thing..

Sure you can count labor on parts installed But PLEASE do NOT include service costs(10K,oil changes etc..)

I've been keeping track of my purchases since day 1 and im surprised i've spent this much and barely has anything to show for it(unless i point it out)

Not much compared to others. Had my car for a little over 2 years now and I have spent around $1300 on "aftermarket parts" and "improvements" (not counting any labor costs) and my car still looks stock and feels a little stock. Haha

So I guess I'm just getting started.

I've spent about $4k on mine. The wheels and tires alone were just under $2k. Looking to spend another $3k and no more!
