thats an awesome transformation Sunny!!

Today I have to spent another $500 on getting my exhaust modified so I have more ground clearance.
Last week $200 for superlows, $5 for a new powersteering hose, $20 for heat wrap so it doesnt melt on my turbo manifold again.

in the next week or 2 Ill be spending about $400 for an extra 40-80 rwkw.

Bought Territory TX AWD (with extras) $42,000 approx
First service ... cost nothing and several free cups of coffee.
$400-ish for custom numberplates.
Will be spending some money on some decent driving lights for the Territory (Looking at Lightforce 240HIDs)

Bought my old FC LTD for $5000, spend another $2000-4k on motor and panel's. - $3000 on stereo and about $1200 on springs,shocks, and new front end setup (camber, pitment arm etc) not to mention 2 defect's which costed me around $900+ to get the car RWC again.

after owning it for roughly 2 years eventually it was swapped for an agreed value of $2500, a week later it was swapped for a 14ft half cabin haines hunter boat valued at round $5000 - $7k.

I then bought my new car which was my parent's VR SS, with ***-end damage - quoted for $2500 to repair (traded LTD to pay for repair bill) and payed/paying another $10,000 ontop of that.

$1400 for 18 X 8 and 18 x 9 Advanti racing Rims with Nexen 235/40/18 & 265/35/18 tyres. Best money I've spent in the last week or so.

Not adding anything else up, as I already know the answer: too much!!
