Maintenance and repairs? A lot. My car sees a lot of track duty and it is near 90k miles so I pretty much went through everything.

RF radiator and fresh coolant- $265
respray nose paint- $250
1 set pads and rotors (all 4) $1000
2- oil changes $250
2- Fresh brake fluid (Motul high temp) $200
3- sets track tires $2400
1- set spark plugs/coil packs ?
1- fresh trans fluid ?
1- fresh clutch fluid ?
1- fresh PS fluid ?
2 air filter element $50
2- cabin filter $50

Maybe $5000 last year total. I did some of the work myself and some was done by my trusted indy Porsche mechanic. Last year was very rare. Before this I really just changed the oil, filters and brake fluid for 4 years.

No repair work at all, but I only put about 2k+ miles on it in a year and the car's total is only a little over 20k now.

Next year, I will do a service, but those are not too bad at all...

Can't say the same for customization though....:-)) I've just about got it where I want it.

High speed tractor trailer tire side wall impact to passenger side- To be determined next week. Tire looked like 4 foot circular saw blade coming at me- couldn't swerve enough but avoided a head on hit.

Looks like around $2400.
Go back two more months and add $3000 for transmission repair, RMS and clutch.
