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 |

When I built my 1989 Formula (street car run amok) I was into the "whole bunch" catagory.
$1100 for Baer brakes $1340 for machine work $2000 (roughly) for 5 speed swap (1LE DS and all). All the parts for a 353 chevy with splayed mains, billet front cap, steel crank, lunati rods, solid roller, an line front to rear and a return, EFI fuel pump, regulator, 22 gallon cell, cage, koni's, Ground Control kit for all corners, Harwood lift off hood, Underdrive pulleys, Griffen radiator, hooker super comp headers, MSD, Moroso road race oil pan and the list runs on for a long time. I had about $5,000 to $7,000 in the motor, fully dressed, top to bottom (and headers), as far as I could tell. It was alot of money, then, I got mad and sold it (as it was nearly done). Don't forget, I had to buy the car as well ($5600). Anyway...I've got a new money pit now. |
