Amy... hope you have a better mod year in 2004. Just heading down for some Xmas turkey with 8 tons of stuffing... and all the trimmings... with some friends. Wish you were here to join us.
I put on a lot more than 50 miles a month.. and so do my friends. However... there are some drivers who barely touch the 50 mile per month mark (some GT-R fair weather drivers, I know).
In any event... happy holidays... and wish you and all of us a great 2004.
Below is a scene from my neighborhood... highly unusual in Japan except in cities or department stores. Procession of cars and walkers around here every night to look and take in the atmosphere.
cheers........

Creeping up on the $15,000 mark after just purchasing the Greddy TT kit and e-01 boost controller. Some engine and drivetrain mods to come, but I would have had plenty more $ to spend sooner if I didn't just buy a 2002 ford explorer xlt for a rain/winter vehicle. Either way, the mods will continue.
Unfortunately I can relate to almost all of you, especially you, DURSO. The HRE 545Rs and Pirelli PZeros are going to put me over $5K in one purchase when I take delivery next week. Thankfully I don't have any significant engine mods which helped me justify the extra bucks on the rims and tires.
Sometimes it's best not to think about it and just enjoy the drive...

My only mod was for a $5,000 S-10 which I drive when it is raining or snowing. Oh yeah, I also bought a $9.95 CD sun shade sleeve, so I guess that puts me over 5K and makes me a legitimate member of the club.

I'll second that HVN N HEL... any chance you could post a bigger version of that pic.... very nice!
As for mods, I am now over $16K... approaching $17K if you count dynos and minor expenses (like going to Mobil 1 oil, etc)
By summer, plans will be in effect that will likely put me in the $25K+ club... hush, hush for now, but it all begins with some FI... the rest... is a secret!

Supposedly her face isn't that great (a male friend of mine burned a CD for me and made that pic the cover, but I know nothing about who she is).

(yeah... I'm sure I'll get flamed by our female members for that statement, but I couldn't resist.... at least I'm honest about what I'm looking at!
)
Holy crap, some of you people spent over 20K?! Thats crazy.
What's that, Iris changing 'her' avatar to compete? Quick question Iris, is that you or what you appreciate? (not trying to be mean or rude).
haha, that's not me. but i AM a girl!
she's my new hot obsession (i haven't had one for a girl in awhile - a fetish chick I came across on the internet.) mizuimi max. i think she might be a little too gothy for most guys - she has tattoos all over, etc. but, that's the lesbian (not the guy) in me.
ok, sorry for hijacking this thread.

Exhaust, tints, wing, wheels, tires, and install/shipping for everything definitely puts me in right around 6 grand! Damn, and I havent even done suspension or rest of body kit yet!
But I've loved this car everyday I've had it, and every dollar put into it has been well worth it. I love my baby z

ps - wheels/tires/wing are ALL coming in next week, but it has all been charged on my credit card, so I figure it's fair to post in this thread now.
