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 |

For my SCCA Solo2 AS legal SS:
(Just last year and this year so far) 1. 35mm ST bar & Koni / Bilstien combo $800 or so 2. M2000 helmet $60 ? 3. Entry fees $too many 4. Street tires & wheels $920 (thank you SLP) 5. Mounting tires $75 6. Brake Pads $160 7. Blackwing Air Lid $120 8. Donaldson Filter + Cleaner $45 9. Mobil1 & Filter $25 (Although I got alot of free Mobil1 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) 10. Hotels $180 (last year) 11. Evolution School $225 12. Used Hoosiers & C4 rims $400 13. Z06 Fuel Rail Covers $80 14. Mobil1 Oil Filler Cap $8 15. SCCA membership $80 16. G-Tech Pro/Competition $250 Total (not including entry fees) $~3,350 Plus I need brake fluid.... Plus probably $500 in gasoline Plus car was $29,XXX brand new + tax (7%) + title + tags Although under 30 isn't bad for a 33k+2500 (Anniversary Package) loaded SS (minus traction control) from the dealer. I agree with the sentiment... "I shoulda got a Z06" which is why I am trying to save $$$ up for one. <Accepting donations for Z06 fund> But, it is worth it, I will OWN PAX in my home region. It'd probably win at Nationals if Sam drove it (with a fresh set of Hoosiers). Aaron |
