=>Waiddaminnit!
=>
=>In three years you barely spent 3K on the car. Not bad
=>for *any* car, IMHO. Last year, you decided to go
=>"whole-hog" on performance/appearance upgrades and
=>spent $8k, and now you're complaining?
=>
=>You also didn't mention your Prowler Orange paint job
=>or the Kamei kit. It looks swell, and I remember
=>following your progress. That must have been a pretty
=>heavy part of the 2001 bill. Like I said, it looks
=>great, and I'm personally glad you did it, but you
=>can't honestly say it was really necessary, can you?
=>
=>If anyone around here has ever looked into what it
=>costs to "customize" any other car for performance or
=>appearance, they know that Sciroccos and Rabbits are
=>_dirt_cheap_. The only things cheaper are Mustangs and
=>Camaros, 'cause there's such a huge market of
=>mullet-sporting rednecks for them. Looked into what a
=>Honda or Subaru suspension package costs? How about a
=>setup for an A4 chassis VW? NOT CHEAP! BMW, Audi, or
=>Porsche of any vintage? Fogettabouddit! Before you get
=>yourself in a bundle and throw your car away, think
=>about the alternatives. Even when you're having a run
=>of bad luck (as I am currently too), these cars are
=>still a lot of fun for very little money.

=>(BTW, this is supposed to make you feel better!)
