Ouch! You really paid $225 for a set of lug nuts? Jason, you are the best barometer of your yearly costs. You may go into it convinced that you're only going to maintain your car...but the bug bites hard. Do one autorcross or DE, and the money sort of spends itself. Find yourself a good car and you're looking at 2 oil changes (DIY) and a valve adjustment every other year (also DIY with a little help the first time), tires, brake pads, etc., as needed. Not too bad.
I went into mine with the same expectation. It's now got a new suspension, 3.6 v-ram, 3 exhaust systems, 930 brakes, Seats and Harnesses, Quaife, and the list goes on. Mind you, I could have bought it and enjoyed it as it sat, but chose to step off the cliff. Beware!
P.S. I've often told my wife that if I had all the money in the world to buy any sports car I wanted, I'd buy the one I have today. That makes it worth every penny. Just a thought...
