about 10%, because i'm filthy rich!!!



cuz i make pretty good cash and the bills come first..
no sense spending a shyt laod on my car if i have no place to park it..

this year i'm probably looking at around $7500 in shtuff..
i'm already over $2000 and haven't even looked at rims/rubber yet, guess i better slow down..



uh, huh...how much?? i'll take it..

It really is hard to judge just how much goes toward my car. Don't really have a lot of bills but make good money, the problem being I owe the credit card from last years stuff. However so far i've got about $3000 saved waiting to be spent on paint and a Si motor upgrade.

My SiR's paid for and basically, on my car, I spend money on gas and maintenance. (Well, I have different wheels/tires for summer, JDM CTR front "H" mark, removed "SiR" lettering). Most of my paycheck goes to my mortgage...

Excluding the bills I pay (cell/insurance/matenance) I try to spend little on my car as I'm trying to save for bigger and better things.

Well, dunno what percentage, but when I find a deal on something I get it...about $5000/year. But I have two other cars + a house. It's called growing up I think...you know, having OTHER monetary considerations than our cars.

I used to spend a lot of money on my car....especially when i first joined the club....but i've recently learned the hard way that MONEY CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING and that my car can be replaced while others things can't.

0% coz I have no pay cheque!

But from the savings that I've accumulated from working in years past, probably 30%-40% of it goes to car (just gas) after other bills are taken care of.

I wish that I had more money to blow on my car!
