I've spent more than $800 just on tires since I bought my car SRT two years ago.
Plus three (maybe four) oil changes, two spark plug changes, new alternator, IC pump. Parts alone on the listed above are probably near $800...not including install costs for the alternator/IC pump. However, I wouldn't trade that for anything. The car is well worth it.
...that doesn't even include the price for the modifications
I'm about to spend a good bit of $$$$ getting the 35k mile tune up. Plugs, oil, filter, all fluids. etc. It is about time to change the transmission fluid. Then it will be good for the rest of the life of the car.
