I seriously fail to see that amount of money when i look at my car.

It all adds up. Im so depressed..
And for everyone who wants to say... "but for $50k you couldve bought a...."

Get F**KED

I know i couldve but then i wouldve had to spent $15k on that to make it mine.
Bottom line. I have an individual car that I like. I have spent a lot of money on it but then again who hasnt. I never plan to sell this. I will keep it untill i cant drive it anymore. So resale has no bearing.

I'm just glad I bought a car with most of the sh*t done to it that I want.

It's far too easy to throw 30k at a car

Im not proud of this..
If i had my time again i wouldve done it differently. I belive there is a lot of wasted money on this car. Its not even show worthy and i've spent buckets on it.
so depressing...
And yeah besides... oodles asked for a list.

medal can be a diamond one... so i can pawn it to help pay for the rest of the crap.

I'd be proud of it. Thats one impressive machine. At the end of the day, it's yours, it's unique.

Oh im proud of my fto... but not of the $$ i've spent... but then again, its a hobby, its transport, its an expression of me... i must be high maintainence.

Give it 6 months and there'll be another 10k worth. then it MAY be show worthy.

I dunno... Very close.
When speeding both are illegal
Both give you a rush
Both are addictive
Both make you feel good
Both cost way too much
Both can kill you and others
Both are despised by the upholders of the law (mostly)

But yeah... I agree
