I keep records of all the money I spend (hemorage) on the Camaro, and hit a milestone today. Looking at my tally makes me cry inside most of the time, and sometimes I think of all the neat things I could have purchased for what I have spent. I could have bought a fully sorted racecar, ready to go out of the back of SportsCar magazine for all that I have spent.
The worst part, is after all I have spent, my car is sub-par at everything it does. It is sloppy at the drag strip, auto-x track, and on the road course, and is now getting more and more useless as a daily driver. Anyway, enough of my babbling let's see the bling! I know some of you keep up with things like this, if not make a guesstimate. My Idiocy |

Well, so far I've spent about $5000 on the car in total expenses. However, I've also sold the old parts off the car, plus stuff I didn't need (12 disc changer, etc.). My gross margin (profit-expenses) is about $1000-$1500. Not bad, considering that I always run 3rd to 5th in overall PAX (Viper and one of 2 Z06's always has my number, dammit!).
