I don't hink i would ever stop spending hue percentage of my paycheque on cars

[Nebuchernezzer]

I think alot of people burn themselves out on modded cars by spending massive ammounts of cash on them.
Guy at work i know spent some rediculous ammount of cash just on the engine of his drag car, like $45,000, he's younger then me and he's already given up on cars pretty well completely due to the money he wasted.
Crazy shizzle.
I'm to stingy to do that though lol, all up between my two cars (Gazelle and Silvia) i've spent around $20,000.
Not too shabby i thought for doing those two cars and i've got a spare complete SR20DET in the shed as well in that money too.

Congratulations A certain young man has spent $30000+ and still hasn't sorted himself out.... I on the other hand I have had 30 cars in 40 years of driving.....I worked it out a total vehicle value of, wait for it...over $600 000 that's just the face value of the cars (not adjusted to today's prices) ....sad really.

The current two are worth $130 000 alone. I've travelled over 1.5 million kms(conservative estimate) ....just imagine how much fuel I have paid for? How much rego and insurance...I have a very understanding wife.
