The real costs of a slick ride

<INSERT $24,000 AND 6 YEARS BETWEEN THESE PICTURES>

Ouch.

I'm finding that the car isn't too much fun when I'm buying stuff for it. I 'm just making it safe to drive and as comfortable as possible. if something breaks I'll fix it. Thats all I have the heart for at the moment. I can't get into any more fights with the wife over this thing. She'll never understand that a few hundred bucks for a SBP disk setup that's local for pickup is a good deal.
