My buddies all say that when I pass they will be waiting in line with their checkbooks, to purchase my toys for what I tell my wife I spent on them.

My rule is to only remember the costs of last ZR-1 bought and forget any other ZR-1 before that. Then I apply Phil's rule for cost of last item bought which would be 8 quarts of 10W-40 Amsoil. The more Zs you have, the less oil you use per Z.

After my Initial Standard Restorations, my Zs are very happy and rarely need anything else except a little maintenance
The more Zs you have the less maintenance per Z as long as you install the Battery Disconnect Switch

I keep a folder with every penny I spend on my cars.... My goal is to make my cars as perfect as possible first in regards to safety, then mechanical, then aesthetics. So, I guess I do know how much, but I usually dont add it all up until its time to sell the car.... If I break even, its been worth the price of admission.

Depending what needs attention in a given year, some $200 others open to cost of repairs.

I was a victim of peer pressure and bought some 18" CCW wheels plus new tires.

In the end the car looks better than ever and it has worked out well.

I try not to think about the amount spent.
