WTF..10k in mods in 7 weeks :-(

I finally added up all my records of my mods for my Mini. I have owned it for around 7 weeks and I was shocked to see the finall tap $10,000.00. The sad part is I have another 9k in mods that I want to do. I have my eye on a Fireballed Turbo system, LSD and clutch. I have fixed up eveycar I have ever owned but this one is so easy and I can't seem to stop myself. I know I'm not the only one, who else?
Mario

gets even more expensive when you have a garage + a few cars as
a car hobby. you're just warming up.

Your about a THREE YEARS late asking that

See https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...light=10K+club

In particular, post #225 as in:

"Is it time to start a new thread under..."Who is NOT in the $10k club?"

Be aware though that when time comes to sell the car ...
