Default How much do you have invested in your "rolling piggybank?

Statistics by Ford have stated the average mustang owner spends approx $2,200 customizing their pony. I know we are above average, just wanted to know HOW above average.

According to my estimates, I think I've spent over $7900 in mods and installation since I had it. (Supercharger money right there lol)

Man, I want to know what some of you do for a living. I'm in sequentials, floor matts and a shortie antenna (less then $250 all together).


I mean if you count snow tires/rims as a Modification (which I didn't), then yeah I'd be over a bill - but if not I might be the lowest!
