For laughs, I figured I would give an idea of my costs of owning my Stang for the first 10 months I have had it.....please dont flame me for what I paid, or what I bought, this is just for a chuckle Also, my purchasing is rather conservative in comparison to what a lot of guys on here buy..
Tires 351.00
Stereo 547.00
H-Pipe 124.40
Flowmaster AT 241.00
Alignment 47.00
Center Cap Wheel 23.00
Coolant Temp Sensor 14.37
3:73 Gears Intalled 410
Aluminum Driveshaft 229
FMS 65mm Throttle Body 239
Headlight Switch 32.99
DenseCharger CAI 98.00
190 LPH Fuel Pump 100.00

Car cost me 4500 when I bought it last July, with 73000 on the clock. Ive driven it 10000 so far.
4500 Car Cost + 3000 Mod Costs + 950 Fuel Costs (approx based on 19mpg)
Quick breakdown

And too think of all the things on my wish and need list

In closing....I'd do it all over again...

Loan payment $125/month
insurance increase $50/mounth
forged crank $511
Forged rods $500
Roush intake $700
spare GT40's to port on $200
OEM headlights+reproduction header pannel $200
OEM cobra bumper $150
front clip from pick-n-pull $70
cordless sawsall to get that clip out of pick-n-pull $200
bumper foam $24
EEC+PIH $150
EEC adapter harness $30
spark plug wires $30
EDIS8 conversion parts $60
a new battery because I let it sit too long $60

That's $2685 in parts and $1050 in monthly expenses and $200 for the sawsall. I have spent more, but that is all I remember.

Miles driven since I bought it: 5

That is only $787 per mile.

It still needs a bumper, a fender, paint, a dart block, pistons, a ballence job, sensors a wiring harness and tuning before it will be done with the engine and exterior, then it's time for a better transmission, rear end, suspension, etc.

But when it's done, it's going to be one bad mother------ and I'll have about $15,000 in it.

My co-workers with a Boxter S, Viper and a Mercedes S500 AMG are going to hate it.
