My guess on my Prelude and Civic is around $10-$15k as a student.

I'm glad I am out of the game for now, I will hop back in once I am making better money.

For now I am dumping money into my camera... because unlike cars, my camera pays for itself. :)

You could buy a small house for what I've dumped into cars, not including the price of the cars themselves, over the last 5 years alone.

Been through atleast 50-60 cars since I was 15, I'm 27 now.

Just parts for my first car $10k easy, second car only $5k as the motor can built, and my 3rd car $35k and growing! My next car will stay stock as my new daily driver, once I find one I like.

i wouldn't even know where to begin on money into cars nt including buying the cars anyways, hell my first full build cost me over 12K and i was 14-15 then.

for alot of us, you included slava we buy and sell alot of parts to get what we want or to get back alot of money we've spent,

i've gotten good at trying not to go to far on the spending but the faster you want to go the price gets worse,lol

i've spent 5400.00 on the del sol including buying the car now just the clutch is gonna run 1200.00 LOL figures..

and as far as money, FUCK IT! until i have kids to spend money on toys for them it's toys for me and my wife and i LOVE my cars and i love working on them and racing them so if that's what keeps me sain then so be it, small price to pay.

I have had about 5 hondas, and I have no idea how much money I have spent on them, on the current car, I would say somewhere near 12k in motor work alone.... To much money!!

I always wonder what my life would be like if I never got into "cars". I'd be living in a much nicer house, the house would be stuffed with nice furniture, electronics, artwork and probably a hot woman. I can't begin to guess how much I've blown on cars thus far.

You know what. If you don't get one thing, you get the other. As long as you are happy, that's what counts. :)

I really don't even wanna talk about how much pointless money I have put into my Honda's. Way, way to much money. Makes me also wonder what my life would be like if I would have never got into building cars.

Once you start spending that money on cars, it's hard to stop.

It's an addiction, plain and simple.

I'm so done spending money on cars, but that wont stop me from spending it on all the other toys, motorcycles, atvs etc
