Mebbe......... . I don't really want to add it all up, but I'm sure that I've spent at least that much plus the $32k for the car so $70k plus total. That could buy some pretty bad *** rides. It gets pretty depressing to think about it that way though so I really try not to.

I do love my Evo, but my problem is I spend so much time working to make the money to buy the mods that I don't really have time to enjoy the car.

Differerent stroke for different folks.
It's never a waste of money if you enjoy it.
I worked my azz off in school and still doing the same now that I'm working. Nice house, awsome vacations ( spend too much on that too ), decent saving and my cars, I got to have my cars.
There are days I worked long hours and do not have time to do much of anything else but in a nice fun car you can enjoy your drive to and from work.

For those that think it is a waste of money, you're hanging out at the wrong forum.

Hey, atleast its not money being spent on a worse addictions like cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol.

Think about it like this, if your a regular smoker and buy 2 packs of butts at $5 every week your spending $520 every year you smoke for 10 years thats $5200... that coulda been used on the evo.
