Show us your Contour receipt stack!

Oh geez, I'll go take a pic.... This would probably be only half of what should be in there. I have been buying online for quite a few years now and havn't printed reciepts...

I love how it's "Contour" and then "Other Cars" LoL!
 
i don't have any of my receipts but my total cost of ownership in 4 years is right around 37-39000. thats 2 dealer built transaxles, and the 12,000 for my car 4 years ago.

for mod list check out my cardomain, i'm running out of things i havent changed, engine internals and all harnesses, dash, carpet, rear seats, and most of the body lol.
 
It needs to have its own spot...... the other cars are GMs and they don't ever need anything but tires and brakes....
 
Sorry Robert, I'm not the greatest at holding onto receipts. I know the suspension was ~$700 for the Koni/Eibach set. I paid $800 for the 3L motor back when they weren't going for $300 a pop. Header/y-pipe package was ~$660, Bassani ~$600, Quaife ~$600, plus the huge box of parts from SPMotorsports that I doubt I kept the receipts for. No receipts for installation as I either did the work myself, with friends, or had a Ford mechanic do the work on the side. I think I was in the ~$16k - $17k range before selling the car, just in mods. I could justify it as I did buy the car new. I guess this is the reason you have such a nice car, today. It's easy to take care of your stuff when you shell this kind of money into it.:laugh:

Sorry Mark, I wasn't trying to call you out or anything. I was just saying that I didn't have definitive numbers for a few items, so I guessed (and came pretty close apparently) when I added it all up. The car is nice and as always, I thank you for doing it right. If you're bad at keeping receipts, I'm horrible. I've put $2K+ into it in the last 6 months and haven't added a single receipt to the book.
