Oh, so you're 18? I'm only 21 (soon to be 22), so I don't have any discounts either, but it still seems like you're paying waaayy too much. You should shop around some. A buddy of mine was telling me about USAA; he said he only pays $1000 A YEAR on his Z3 BMW.... food for thought.

70k+ here...
14k in paint alone. Car was completely dissambled and acid dipped. 2003 crystal pearl white. Has a silver flake instead of gold. I think the paint code was 064.
30k+ in engine parts. Luckily I did all of the labor myself, besides machine work of course.
15k in drivetrain(new oem 6-speed with Tilton, CF driveshaft, JDM tt auto lsd, axels)
3k in suspension, bushes ect...
5k in the PC/setreo/nav/touchscreen system, leather (all Black)
and various other things I cannot think of right now.

I'm hoping to see you complete it before the first day of spring.

I am only hoping to make 700-750 RWHP at 30 psi, but with the loose converter and the trans brake I am hoping it will be enough to go 9.9x on a good pass.

I think i should include every little bit of money you spent on your car, with the exception of the car's purchase amount, regular maintenance, and gasoline.
