damn it.. stop posting when tired... (me) (I called tune up only to find out Mike answered already ha ha)
Wow, I actually made a list for the first time. I was going to post prices :eek3:, guess I haven't ever added it all up before. I was way off from where I thought it was in my head. It's more than I care to admit.

LOL, I know. Hard parts I'm at about $23k, but add up all the little things like hoses, various other hardware and what not and that ends up being another grand of two. I'm in class and I have a list made already at home.
This! Two Subies = too much $$! I'd rather not think about it. This way I can keep spending w/out feeling guilty! Aric and I spend more then enough to have at least paid his loan off!
Between the downpayment and parts, I could have payed off the STI... no regrets tho since the journey so far has been invaluable. I made a list too and the part that surprised me was maintenance (amsoil synthetic 5-6 times a year, Blackstone used oil analysis, oil filters), random parts (hoses, connectors, gaskets, clamps, etc...), and tools. My GF on the other hand made ME a list of things we could have had :laugh: washer/drier, new bathroom, 4-season patio, finish the garage, update the kitchen, share a motorcycle, dog, etc... Meh, there are worse things I could have spent my money on!
WOW!!! I just did the math. I think I have counted all of the stuff I have purchased/paid for. 1995 Impreza LX 180,000 Miles (I bought it at 96,xxx) for $2,500. Here comes the really shocking part. I included the price of the car, maintenance, parts purchased, labor paid for, ect... I did not include fuel used, insurance/tabs, tools purchased, or parts sold/recouped money. This is just a measure of how much I have shelled for my car. ~$14,500. too depressing to post the true value. I did it in excel. Over the mileage I have accrued it comes to 5.72 Miles / Dollar spent. Heres the list (it may not be complete). Prices have not been included for various reasons.

OMG, I was off by a small bit...like 3K:eek4:...7100 is my investment so far...and I'm about 1/2 done with the car. what a POS! but some of those are replacement parts like struts, so who cares
oh man...lets put it this way...i still owe over 10k for the car...and with what i've put into the car...i could of paid for the car and have money left over..."shakes head"..
Sharing a motorcycle and taking care of a dog? jp, thanks for the offer, Pat. I'll likely give you a holler later in the summer when I get to finishing the garage. Still need to plan it all out first.
Oh wow that's painful thread to me. Let's see, I spent over $14k on my Civic, over $3000 on 03 WRX. Both of these cars are gone now and a new toy is eating up my $$$$$. 08 WRX: AP 700 DP 450 Exhaust 270 Misc body parts 500 BOV 180 Sway bars, endlinks 470 Springs 250 Painted Rims priceless Total=$2800
Just think if you bought a decent boat and went fishing a lot. $15k for a decent rig plus tackle, bait, gas, etc = mucho denero. Golfing isn't cheap either. What is a round of 18 at a decent golf course cost? $40-50? After a grand spent on nice clubs and a couple hundred in balls and shoes, you spend a bunch of money on goofy pants. That adds up quickly. Most hobbies are expensive. Cars get up there quick, especially if you are paying a hotrod shop $150 an hour to do your work.

So I kinda looked, I did keep track, 22,500 for the STi and after 16 Months in Iraq.... 16,500 in parts...... god thats bad...........
I stopped keeping detailed track after I passed 20k into the car. I would say with the spare parts around 50k. add in the truck/trailer and racing expenses for last year for another 14k. This is why a GD is not the proper rally car for a budget team. I could have bought 5 pre-built vw's instead lol
headlight. $75 trunk. $400 rims/tires. $750 shift knob. $20 clutch. 250 scoop. 200 about 1700 total for me.
My wife asked me the same thing just last week. I mumbled something about not keeping track. There is just under a grand of suspension parts on the workbench in the garage. Before that was the VF39 project...
