    I've spent millions, maybe even thousands.

    i've been fortunate enough to be able to buy a brand new house and mod my car too, but it's a hobby as I see it. But hey, that's the bonus of being married with two incomes! Just bought a Lancer OZ Rally yesterday for my wife. pretty spiffy for the price point. now she wants to start moddin' that. yikes. now we'll have a modded Civic and Lancer....money, money, money...

    Before I know it, my daughter will be saying "Daddy, you should get a bigger turbo". Hahhaha!

    it's all good though!

    Yes I wish I would have bought a HOUSE instead of wasting it on my 240. OH well, my new motto now though to help me deal with the $60,000 or so (I've kinda stopped adding all the recepts)I've put into the car is that you only LIVE ONCE and well ya gotta enjoy life while you can. This is all that helps me sleep alittle sounder at night. I won't be selling this car anytime soon I can tell you that.

    You spend money you dont have to buy things you dont need to impress people you dont like

    The only replacment for displacement is money.
