Default So Much Money.......

So how much of your hard earned cash has gone into your mustang? I dont know the rules about posting how much money so I figured Id give it a try.

I just found out Ive spent AT LEAST $3300! Thats so much money but I really dont have that many mods. Well I guess all the mods that I do have are good supporting mods. If I had spent the money all on a blower, then I would still have stock exhaust and no tinted windows .

Also I have spent lots of money on filling the bottle. like 30-35 bucks a pop.

Man the money just comes and goes these days.......:helpsmili

Last year: I spent about $2,800 on my Sonic Blue GT, then it got wrecked and totaled. Only got 450 bux from insurance of aftermarket stufff, but could take off my SLP exhaust and BBK CAI.

Then I got my current Saleen Clone: $3,500 with full exaust, dyno, alarm, stereo, minor things

Subtract my 450 from insurance I spent a wopping $5,850


Don't worry, I'm gonna do it again this year

If I calculated the mods I'd probably shoot myself.

But I have spent over a grand in repairs in the past 6 months
