You're just bonkers!

Now go spend a bunch of money on your car so you don't make the rest of us look bad!

In ten months I go thru 2 sets of fronts and 4 sets of rears. and 8 oil changes. and my wife doesn't need to know all that.

That's a lot of tires and oil!

How much driving do you do? Tracking the car?

I wish that is all I had spent so far! I picked up a 2001 S model with 67K miles on it back in September and let's see:

IMS bearing
Camshaft Seal
Clutch
Exhaust with rear Cats.
Four tires
Gauge cluster
Brakes and Rotors all around
Oil change
Transmission fluid change
Air Filter
Cabin Filter
MAF clean
Blower motor

Total around $7K

The good news...I love this thing! And I bought it right at $10.8K

The brakes are the only things I really had to do. Everything else is a result of having too much free time
