I was wondering...
How much did your car cost when you bought it?
What did you spend on it and where... If you bought something that was appearance/maintenance/gofast list it in both categories and split cost(like your rearend went out and you upgraded to a v8 rear, its a go fast thing and a maintenance thing, or you dented your hood and got a SS hood, split it between maintenance and appearance)
-Initial car cost(description, miles, and when you bought it, how long you owned it)
-Appearance
-GO fast stuff (include suspension and such)
-Maintenance(stuff to keep it running)
-What its worth now
