Hmm - I don't want to add it up. But over $50k. Still got another $30k+ in plans for the next couple of years. If life goes well after that, then starting over on the engine with Cowboy Bebops' (on SF) V8 TT engines looks tempting.

Guys, since this poll is so far off on dollars spent lets start a new rating system.
I.E
F = Freak P = Car purchase price
F x 6 + P= $63,000
Now solve for car purchase price
LOL

I hope you guys spending this kind of cash on mods are saving as well. I spent a ton on my car and then the car was gone in an instant and I had nothing left to show for it.
For the about $30+k in labor and parts I spent doing and redoing my car at my current more bearish gain rates in investments would have been conservatively worth about $60k in the last 6 years instead of $0 plus the heartache of losing the car. Above all, I always make sure I never buy any mods or toys on credit.
My advice is to have fun but don't go overboard.
