Default How many money's did you put into your car?

Just like the topics says, I'm fairly interested in how much money you invested in your car. Personally, I know I'm dumping about 2K into the car, so this isn't one of those "halp plz halp me dcide how much muny to put in2 car pls"


Edit: Let's make this a little interesting; along with your vote can you attach what you did? Or make a post so we can check your siggy, if it's lurking in there.

Default RE: How many money's did you put into your car?

just in aftermarket upgrades?...or huge mechanical failures/really expensive maintenance as well?

as far as mods go, I would say....2,500-3,000$....that # includes my audi upgrades as well, as all of my beautification cr@p...

I plan on putting another $3,000 or so into it in the next year or so, stage 2 clutch, GIAC, FMIC, TIP, Vogtland/Bilstein, Sways.....yup...that sounds about right...

Damn, that's filthy. Money invested = money invested; regardless of it being cosmetic or under the hood.

How many miles does your A4 have on it?

Default RE: How many money's did you put into your car?

Since June I've dropped $15-1800 in it already.
Broke my knee and have been modding since cause I can't drive it!

I'm askin Santa for a turbo upgrade for Christmas!
So hopefully his ass will spend the $2500-4000 for that one!
