haha, there is a poll in the gs forum (98-05), and you can see how people spend money. spending 20k is NOTHING on that car, so for the sc430 it should even be more. heck in the poll, 13 people spent more than 40k

I knoow how you guys feel...

I think I'm past the $10k CDN mark on my SC...

No jokes about the $10kCDN being like $2 dollars USD either!! lol Canadian dollar is actually doing very well; 1.15 exchange from US to CAD.

Modding is a money pit...
