How much?

Do you mean the initial cost? Or the follow up costs for that next series of upgrades that you didn't think you needed the first time around? Or the cost in personal time to keep up with maintenance?

Or the cost if something goes wrong and it needs to be done all over again?

This thread does NOT convey "the cost" in any way, shape or form. Trust me.

I'm not bitter - don't get me wrong. I signed up for this but didn't really understand "the cost" until I passed my original estimate and I decided well I've come this far and I want it "perfect". That's another word that needs to be properly defined because if you set expectations too high, you're bound to be disappointed.

I love my car (it is "near perfect" ), but the cost is higher than you expect - no matter what your expectations are... The only way to really enjoy it is to not care about the cost. If you can do that, then go for it. Boost is a blast for sure and the learning process has been fantastic for me. That said, if I couldn't take care of little stuff myself, I wouldn't be keeping the car, unless I lived in close proximity to my builder (which I don't)...


Here's a "backwards" edit to minimize off-topic posting (hope the OP doesn't mind):

I daily drive it between Chapel Hill and Durham. We end up at Southpoint at least once a week though for entertainment . I haven't seen you either amongst the 40k other shoppers!!! ha ha. Would love to roll sometime - life is too busy and my better half doesn't really approve so...

You find a good road though (or even better, an airstrip!), and I'll be there. Do you ever go to the Raleigh meets?
