It also has to do with people performing their own labor. All my money is in parts, I do all the work myself. An example would be that one person could spend $2,500 more because they paid to have their car painted and I will paint my car myself. If I were to include all my labor as if I had to pay someone the total price of my car would be over $25,000. Alex has all of us beat he spends some serious cash on hi-end upgraded parts. Good thing I'm keeping my car mostly stock.
