How Much Have you Spent on your car.

[lazyeye]

I am just curious, how much have you guys spent on your cars. I am talking total price like repairs, tax, tag, title from the day you bought it to present date. Just for shits and giggles? Ohh and if you have any idea why my 240sx sr20det redtop cuts out like a speedlimiter in 3rd gear at 7000rpm? your ideas would be appreciated, maybee fuel cut but i don't even know what that is?
