You guys who added in regular and unscheduled maintenance, labor (dyno time included) and other general costs associated with owning a car shouldn't even be here if you're going to whine about how much you've spent or are spending to own a car, let alone a DSM money pit. Parts and hard items are the only things you should ever add up when finding out how much you truly have spent on your car(s).

In all, I am going to spend less than $5000 on my car, built engine, and a lot of other goodies. The end product will result in a car capable of over 300whp and mid-12 second 1/4 mile runs... But who cares, read the sig.
If you want to look at just the price of the Car and then the cost of Upgrades only . And No Labor Cost's.

Going off the my MN.dsm.org profile (part for part) - per my reciepts

Cost of Car - $13,500
Interior - $2382
Stereo - $5345
Exterior - $990
Performance - $11,063
Total=$33,280

4 Years of Labor Work - $16,000 (doesn't include work I've done or free help from friends)

The Rest is:
-Repairs - $17,000
-GSX - $5000
