I spend on my supra just about equally i spend on other aspects of my life; School, music, and living expenses. No regrets. As others have pointed out, it beats a 500 dollar a month car payment any other day of the week.
As of today how much did you spend on your supra and any regrets?

lots, i refuse to add it up, but it's over 10k including the price of the car. but i started with a junker because i didn't want to see it go to the scrap yard. it'll cost me a bit more in the end, but knowing i saved it from the crusher is worth it to me.
probably around 6k
my only regret- running out of money when I bought a bum engine so now I have to get rid of it all (child on the way).

Probably somewhere in the area of 7k, but its all going to be worth it in the end. Next steps are looking like me selling my single stuff, getting some paint, a tune and maybe some aero.
My only regrets are taking too long with the 1j swap and not having more money to toss at the car.

Don't know and don't care.:biglaugh:
Probably half of what I will put into it I assume. I pay cash for everything. Credit cards are the devil and I refuse to use such a thing. Pay cash and never go into debt; use credit cards and your ass gets owned by visa.
Regret? What is that?

I lost count after I passed 20 grand.
No regrets either. The car is finally at a performance level where I can be happy.

Sitting at right around 12 grand for this one I think, and I've only begun. No regrets other than not starting with a better looking car. However, paint is in this one's future, and then it will be pretty too.

hmmm..... i believe im in the neighborhood of 10k. but i really don't know. its too late to try and add it up.
Well on both cars here it goes.
My 1983 Supra, spent 250 for the car, and 1,100 restoring it (Receipts)
My 1987 Supra, spent 2,000 for the car, and around 400$ as of today.
So a total of $3,750 on Supra stuff, out of my own pocket, at 15 years old.
No debt due to cash paid, and I will NEVER regret this. I have learned more from owning both cars than I could have EVER learned from a mechanic. I know more than anyone in school about Toyota's.
I now wish I wouldn't have parted out my MkII Supra, but I'm glad I did because I have learned more than anything from taking it apart (Learning where and how everything goes)
