How much have you spent on your loved one?
So far after calculating almost everything, I'm at $6,624.93. Thinking about it, I could have bought a few dsm's with that money lol. What number are you at?

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
 Are we talking about women or cars? Since I don't have a girlfriend I'll just assume the car. Easily over $20k on my only DSM. |

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
Yea I'm guessing it's about cars, I don't keep a running tab on the bitches I associate with.
Roofies aren't that expensive kracka, everyone knows that.

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
man, just thinking about how much I've spent on my car is just insane where I am at in life right now. I think I'm at about $2,100 for the 2 years I've spent on it so far and more if I keep it. If I do keep it, I know I will pour about another 5k to 7k on it. But...it should be well worth the money for this car.

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
Well, I have receipts for over 10k just from DB Performance, have bought many used parts, other new parts, etc. I would say about 17-18 for my shit box including the price of the car, but going through trannies isn't cheap, neither is going replacing engines and other fuck-ups from previous owners...

Spending money on car, can always sell to regain part of it (sometimes an investment but rarely)
Spending money on woman. LOST!!!

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
I made a thread about this on Evomn also. Im around $13,000 within 8 months of having my car. Car was $20,000. So alot but im sure I will be happy when the new parts get put on! So the cost is well worth it to me!

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
I would be embarrassed to even estimate how much I have into my car....

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
Probably have about 14-15k into all upgrades, replacement parts, and the car itself. Way too much, but it keeps me busy and its what I really like to do.

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
I'd have to guess 14-15k maybe. Including price of the car, I dont think I really wanna add it all up.

Re: How much have you spent on your loved one?
I do not like to think about how much I have into the current Galant project. I know I have spent almost $10,000 on just the engine, this is not including assembly labor or the recent work done on the head. I would not be surprised up to now if I could push $25,000 in parts and the cost of the car. And by the time its up and running that number will be well over $30,000. I would not want to think about it in terms of billable man hours for all the recent chassis work if I could not do all this work myself.
