my mods are worth more than my car. that doesn't sound right

I just put all my car parts in an Microsoft Excel spreasheet and started entering prices from the receipts and the number freaked me out. I bought the car for $5000 in Oct.2004 and my parts total is $13,456.00 and this is without labor prices too. I am looking into a turbo kit as well. So i guess i can say i am an "Ultimate SC freak".
But dont tell this to my wife, she'll kill me.

so far between 15k to 20k as it sits now. and still workin' on it.

i say between 15 & 20 because some stuff i either got for wholesale or bought used, so it cannot reflect the retail value.

oh yeah....labor is not included.

Just started the 6speed swap. so there goes anothr 3k. Oh yeah single turbo conversion is next woohoo. I love to be broke.

yea, we all know your car makes every other SC look cheap, but whats the cost of perfection? next time you run the viper down here in florida, make sure you bring the SC too. i want to see it. noticed you picked up a 745 too. you change cars more than most change underwear, but the SC will never go.

but if by some freak chance you need to get rid of it i would gladly take it off your hands

BTW, you can add a little bit to my tab:

Remanufactured P/S pump: $75 off clublexus vendor
Installation done today: $130 MD motors

Not bad... this could have potentially have been WELL over 500 at a lexus dealer.
