Nooo just alot of saving and not wasting on unnecassary expenses. I really wanted some things but resisted getting them... Plus I work for my parents so they threw in a bit.

Wow this thread came back to life.

I'd update what I've spent but it would make me cry like a little girl. Let's just say I could have bought a new car (at least a new tc).

it may be the wife's ride, but WE have spent about 6k so far. Without itemizing the "smaller" items ( ie lighting ), she has added the sc, wheels/tires, audio, etc.. a new head unit is in the works; as is a possible leather seating setup. And if i get my way, some sc mods for my time behind the wheel.... it all depends on the "toy" fund; which can vary some as this isn't the only 'toy' in the household.
And hopefully in the next year or 2, some paint work.
Heck, may as well enjoy what you work hard for...

I stopped keeping track of how much $ i've spent on mods. For me, it's easier to spend more $ when you have forgotten how much you have already spent.
