Yeah, I too keep an Excel spreadsheet and it's not pretty.

With new motor, suspension, tires, wheels, stereo, maintanance, and almost everything else other than a power-adder or new paint... I'm tipping the scales at just over $13,000 invested (that includes the $6,500 i bought it for in 1995). Just think if I would've bought top-of-the-line heads/intake/stroker kit..... I'd be up over $15,000.

Then again, I have a $13,000 Mustang that can hang/beat $25,000-30,000 Cameros and Cobras..... now I don't feel so bad!
