Does anyone else find it a bit addicting to buy stuff for your marauder? I will have my marauder three yrs this sept. and I was adding up receipts of how much i spent {so far} and i was amazed how fast things add up.I'm almost to embarrassed to say. but i'll come clean.. over EIGHT GRAND! $H*t!! and I'm not even supercharged:bigcry: :bigcry:

It seems every car you love becomes addicting lol. I know what you mean I just finally started buying stuff for my MM and it adds up quick lol.

I think everyone here knows exactly how you feel. It starts with the chip and gears and spirals out of control from there. Bling mods, Sound systems, exhaust note mods etc etc etc etc etc . I think its safe to say modding is more addictive than crack.

I feel you man. By my last calculation, I'm over the ten grand mark, and I'm also not supercharged. :banghead: Oh well, labor of love. It is awfully addicting....:D

It becomes really addictive when you start buyings cars for certain functions and then build for that purpose-
car crafting- welcome to legal crack

You'll stop counting at about $15-$20k. I'm finally starting to learn to wait until I'm ready to install the part before buying it. I still have crap in my basement I bought a year ago that I haven't had time to install yet like my headunit. Newer, better head units have come out since then. :rolleyes:

You ain't kidding Michael. I added up receipts when I was N/A and was already around $6,200 - that was months ago - I don't even want to share what I'm at now... :eek:

$6200 so far. Paint was covered by insurance from the wreck. Already had the 1000W amp.

Would be costs are nearly $8000

All has been DIY. Would be labor @45/hr is around $4000

So, Im around $18K. Holy *****! Why did you make me think of that?!

Im into the $4k mark, Once I get a convertor and eventually headers, I will then see almost the $7K mark after tuning.

This car is more expensive then my Ex GF was
