    Now that I realize how much money I've actually put into my car, I wonder where it all went.

    ATL G35 Nismo Project:

    Total Cost: 24,191.00
    Spent: 8,057
    Remainding: 16,134

    Months of vehicle ownership: 8
    Avg monthly mods spending: 1,007.13

    Damn, Now that I just look at my log for the G35 project, I think I need to take it slower. Buhahahaha. Most of these stuffs are $0 labor except for some custom fabrications. No wonder why I don't have the budget allocation for my H22 Accord

    Damn, there goes my money for the 2nd house. I think I should apply for a CC and stop spending cash

    I think with my new transmission and new paint, I'm easily into the $21,000.00 range on parts and labor only. Who knows. It's been a while since I've added it all up.

    The next build will be a turbo C5 Z06 build. That won't start until mid/late next year if I end up going that route. Whatever it is, it will be turbo RWD.

    Well, if we are going to include the price of the car, then I am well over $130,000+. Fuck.

    $11- spark plugs
    $7- octane booster

    So when I calculated all that up, I ended up with $18 total. And that does not include using 1/10th a can of wd40 and 1/20th a can of brake cleaner. The biggest pain to my wallet is gas in which I spent about $40 on thus far. Shit adds up quick.
