how much in mods $$$ ?

I was just interested in how much people have spent on their mods. Technically some people's cars probably worth more than 80 grand (retail + mods). In my case, my car was 39,800 + 4,500 mods = 44,300. Obviously, we're going to sell the cars at half the price.

Too Much!

I have only spent about 7500 to date, but have about another 7000 to go, but I really don't plan on selling it for a long, long time.

Talking

I pretty much have the same mods as Randy, except I still have a couple of years of payments on my G. JUST CALL ME RANDY JR.

Then again, with all that equity in my house I could just pay off the G and mod a whole bunch more.

Why do you think I owe NOTHING Neff? That's what I did. After all, you can write-off interest paid on a home...not on a car.

Crazy HUH?
