Add it up! How much have you spent on your B5?

[thepirate]

This may get depressing. Hahaha Just looking for mods not routine maintenance because for some that list could go on for days. Post up the most recent picture of your car at the end.

I paid: $12,500 for the car in 2005 it had 45k miles on it.

Wheels:

1.19" Huff reps, $1200 (new to the game and totally stupid)
2. 17" AMG Monoblocks, $500
3. 18" A8 Sewer caps/ Pie plates, $300 (I'm getting smarter as I learn more haha)
4. 18" MAE crown jewels, $900 (really didn't pay for these, I sold the A8 wheels for the same price)

Haha you and Bobby...when he was down last year he said the same and fixed it. I don't know how it went back in. I think it looks worse then it is cause of the angle.

Letting the door slam when you close it, does it.. adjust it

This is true. when you were trying to show me rust on sams mk3, I had the gas cap open trying to adjust it. lol
