Interesting info I thought I'd share: As part of the package I put together for the insurance company to value my car, I did a spreadsheet of all the costs for the last 5 years. It's a 1990 and a daily driver.

Minus the paint/body work and alarm, the total was approx 14k or $235 per month. 3k was spent this year.

Just kiddin', I probably would drive it more if the A/C worked (95 degrees and humid) but then I would have to spend money on it and that would blow my afore mentioned $235 a year!

I guess cars do cost money to maintain properly.......................
