How much have you put into ur cars?

Hmm anyone else hit the 10000 dollar mark?

Im thinking about dropping the whole nitrous setup. Im tired of refilling my bottles. I dont like only being able to go fast when i spray. I race way too often and spraying is too expensive of a hobby. Shoot another 4 grand. Who cares.

That seems to be the going rate. I guess im just stupid and throw my money around too much. I coulda easily bought a gt with the extra money but i still dont want to pay the insurance. I probably could have done an engine swap or at least a supercharger but i chose to change the way it looks every 6 monthes since ive owned it. I think like i said before ima sell the nitrous set up and go for a procharger. Or, a turbo if the price is right.

11000 u mean . I would but people around here get mad when i post pics. Especially mustangsally. If i post one pick she will bitch for many posts to come. If you search the threads for my name, you can find plenty of pics of my car.

I think they should make a money spent list kinda like a time slip list where everyone posts there times. You provide a number of money that you havent spent on ur car and proof and theyll put u on the list. I just wanna be on a top10 of any kind of list other then like the lamest car list.
