I have totalled it up a few times before, but everytime I get depressed. With all the money I have spent on this car I should have the fastest GP in the world, but sadly most all of the money went to repairs.

Car - $11,500 June 29 1999
Repairs - Everything in the engine bay has been replaced besides the engine but it has had some gaskets, sometime 2 or 3 times, Lots of new interior items, and TONS of maintnence! The Price is HIGH and I have stopped counting!
Mods - Filter, Exhaust, TB polish, Brake pads, lots of little things appearance wise.

That sounds like alot right, but as my Mom tells me I have replaced everything so its a NEW GTP now!

Heres to going broke for a car!

Before anybody blames the engine - Thats
