Default What's the most money you've spent on something?
As the title says, what is the ONE thing(cant be a set or group of things) you've spent the most money onever, whether related to your car or not. One rule is no cars, no houses. We know those things cost a ton.

As for me, I spent about $800 on getting my a/c fixed on my old 92 taurus b4 I had my stang.

Ive spent about 10-12k for my main home audio system.

I dunno if i would consider that one piece or not.

The plasma at 2,900 was the most expencive part.


Best 100 bucks i ever spent was the adoption fees for my dog Jagermister. That is one helluva dog.
