Mine is a Hybrid but I have about $15k in it as it sits. I need to do the interior next and then it will be done (yeah right!)
The most expensive parts for me were the transmission and then paint and body work next. And to think it started out as a nice running $500 beater!
I agree about not tallying up the price, it could tend to push you away from the hobby or make you way too paranoid about the car and what fun is that?
The only reason I know is a co-worker once asked. I had to ask if he meant real $ or ebay money. If you factor in $1 = $20 on ebay (I used to buy Hot Wheels and other toys and resell them then the true out of pocket price is quite lower, closer to about $8000.
Just remember my formula 20 Hot Wheels = 4 Centerline rims with tires (on Ebay of course)
