how much you've spent or how much its cost you to keep her on the road or the price of mods you've done.

i figure about 2500 in just repairs.

bought it for $1800
put a new engine in it for $1800
fixed some problems/preventative stuff following a small accident for $1800
random "stuff" for $600

audio for ???
"upgrades" for $350

gas for 14k miles @ about 14mpg and $2.70 per gallon ~$2700

so maybe a bit over $10,000

lol...Dave I was wondering how much your total would be. That's really not that bad for the lift and rims you have though. I'd expect 6K alone just for the lift you have.

for mine...I bought it for $2000, $200 for a pair of tires...$140 wheel bearing, and all my mods I'm probably into it close to 3K. Not too bad for a year of ownership so far. This year is a maintenance year for me though, so expect that amount to climb quite a bit. I need another wheel bearing ($140) an O2 sensor ($80) axle seals ($12 a piece) new rear breaks (unknown?) a new set of tires ($500+) and the list goes on and on lol.
