The title says it all.

Routine maintenance, performance parts, wheels and tires, cosmetics and audio modifications... whatever.
How much does your "hobby" or "passion" or "money-pit" cost you per year?

[Chilled Man]

oh fuck ....

Since I changed over to wellsfargo they have a pie chart that tells you exaclty where you spend your money ....

average for the last 4 months is $1500 -$2k a month ... but I get most if not all that back and then some when I sell a car so ...

[noodle]

I'm upto $2500 this year but that's because it was the first year with the car so Stage 0 + 105k service + full exhaust + wheels & tires + the

maintenance. Next year should be cheaper however, I spend whatever money I can on the car so if I had it I'd spend it so maybe it won't be as cheap

lol

[trs80]

Its only money. Either spend it when you have it or not when you dont. No point in saving it, cant take it with you when you die.

[Vagabond]

Yea, but you can live on it when you don't have a job, numb nuts.

[trs80]

If you need money to survive that's not my fault. Not everyone has to live off the capitalistic tit. Try being independent, it may open your eyes. Numb nuts.

[Chilled Man]

Hey my nuts are numb anyone want to massage them .....

[trs80]

Ever put Icy/Hot on them? Feels great.

Guessing this past year is between $3500-$5000 considering the new control arms, subframe replacement, maintenance, axles, all the wheels/tires I've gone through, D2 coilovers, and then the other random shit I've bought (5 cupholders... I keep breaking them).

How often do you change your oil and what are you replacing it with? Are you using Saddam Hussein's personal stash of liquid gold? Or unicorn tears with flakes of platinum suspended in the solution?

[Hippicus Rebuildacus]

sorry re did the math ahha $720

8 dollars for filter @ dealer + crush washer

(6) 8.50 / quart G.C.

I put 2k on it a month just for work and maybe its me but I can put an additional 1000-1500 miles on it in my own free time during a month. Let alone all the extra bullshit travel back to work

[oRange855]

I put 15,943 iinto my 242 this year….......................

And around $2k into the 855 and $1300 into the s60R

Also complete repaint on 242 in the december timeframe is another $3500

[Two Turtles]

Is this "per car", or as a sum total?

[survolvo]

Since I've gotten my 850 back in July, I've spent about $5k. I am almost done with stage 0, PCV is next week. Pretty much rebuilt the front end, minus hubs and swaybar, but those will be soon. The car gets nicer with every dollar though, and I like wrenching on it.

[andyb5]

Just under $1500 in 1 month of owning my car.
