I have spent $0.00 but lots of time. I dont have a car yet but I plan on buying a car for about 3k then getting an engine swap 5k-6k (a shop will do it). Then plenty of JUN products, body kits (3K, painted), Rims and suspension (3K) and plenty of other mods. and thats just for one car</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
If you are going to do an engine swap anyways, then why don't you just get a car with a blown motor for like $500.  You can look on autotrader.com for one close to your mechanic and have it towed straight there.  You'll save about $2500   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
