this year alone I know I spent over 5k...but the car does now run flawlessly!

I have a list of over 10k in parts that i want to order right now....(mods+paint)...hopefully I will have the list all checked off in the next 6 months or so....*fingers crossed*

every penny I spend I try to forget about....I just focus on how great the car treats me on the road...

these cars can be expensive, but I am in love with mine and
