Over a period of 5 years. i think i've invested way more into the car than I bought it for. so im guessing maybe 18k +++ and that's still not including everything that I've done to the box lol.

(Somewhat) Complete list of expenses:
$600 - Tablet laptop that I use for navigation + music/movies
$300 - Repair a dent - some jerk hit me when i was @ 1600 mi =(
$270 - IRONTOAD.com Scion parts (floor mats, arm rest, rear cover + cargo net)
$130 - Colgan bra which I don't use anymore:
$125 - 2 sets of hella supertwin horns
$105 - Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 / USB GPS Puck
$65 - AC Invertor I use to power my laptop (when needed)
$40 - LEDs that I was gona use to make a dome light but never did
$30 - Logitech webcam that I was going to use as a backup cam but didnt
$20 - Misc installation things for the installation of the hella horns
$8 - Aux. Audio cable
$5 - LED pod lights that I use as a dome light
-----------------------------------------
$1098 - excluding the cost of the tablet laptop since I use it in the xB but more when I'm not in the car.
*for me, this isnt a list of mods per say. it's more a list of the '$' i put into the car for whatever reason - small mods, regular maintenence, etc.
~$380 = front brakes + rotor resurface @ dealer @15k miles - never again!
$30 = set of hubcaps that my friend painted black for me
$150 = my last 5 oil changes
$520 = 30k mile service - recently performed.
$300 = new tires that are waiting to be put on.
$100 = cost to put new tires on (going on next week)
$200 = front + rear brakes at 25k miles. NYC DRIVING IS MURDER ON BRAKE PADS
total-----------------------
~$1,700
----------------------
Total spent on the car ever = $1098 + $1700 = about $2800 dollars....
I bought my xb with cash so $16,700 + 2800 = $19,500 total for the car + expenses afterwards: mods, maintenence, etc.
I'm at 32k miles now and plan on keeping this car forever as long as it doesnt turn into a money pit as it grows older - which i dont think is going to happen. this thing is build solid!

18'' Yokohama S-drive tire replacements = $690 (with mount/balance)
Infinity FX Bi-Xenon HID Retrofit = $1,000.00

total right around $1500 or so.
it's pretty cool seeing a stock PW box, then looking at mine and seeing the only difference is less than a paycheck but still looks so much different. im pleased.
