How much has your car cost you

[Ben H]

Yeah, sure is! I guess it would have been cheaper to stump up more originally and get a real minter from the start. But at least Ive had the experience and satisfaction of building myself a minter.

My latest mod...wait for it...has been some original Phase 2 wheels (Speedline Vegas - much better quality than the aftermarket ones my car came with). Seems to have perked up the initial accleration as well!

Will be spending a fair bit of time this winter doing the engine bay to perfection!

Im thinking about making a simple Windows program.. A database, which logs the mods and other things you spend on your car.

Ive wanted to do it for a while, so I can have reports, current cost of mods, current costs of keeping it running etc... Wouldnt be hard at all - Would take quite a bit of time, tho..

Maybe Ill start it then.

I think if I had kept a track of my costs accurately as I went along I wouldnt have thought I could have afforded it!
