I will cost more every month to own becauase once you get one mod you'll want more and once you have a few parts everything starts to become at least 500 bucks it seems like.

I pay 600 monthly payment (car is financed for 2 years) + I put alot down.
Insurance is like 250 with 3 cars, it was 170 before the evo.
Gas, well I dont really know, havent driven it as much as I would like to. Mabye I spend 50 dollars a month?
Tires/Servicing/ect... No idea, car hasnt hit 3000mi yet.

Not helpfull I know, but I have a perfect driving record, over 25, and 3 new cars, and the evo is by far the most expensive insurance I have ever paid.

ha... Don't forge the $1000 for tires every 15k (including mounting, alignment, etc), $300 for brake pads every 20k. $500-$600 for rotors every 40k or so depending on usage. ~$50-$100 in drivetrain fluids every 15k. ~$50 for oil/filter every 3k. And I only get 15mpg

Hmmm, lets see.

Monthly payment: $380, put $14,500 down
Full coverage insurance for Evo and Chevelle: $145 per month
Monthly Gas: $100-$150, depending on where I go
Misc, mainly detailing products: $100

I guess I'm not as ****ed as I thought I was money wise.
