Don't get me wrong, i've thoroughly enjoyed getting mine where it is today, despite the cash. I don't even care about that shit. I haven't added it up, and never will. I have all the receipts. I've learned a shitload, and it's just mental to drive on the street.

Comes down to having a passion for these cars as most of us do on this forum. STI or not, in the end we all spend our hard earned on them at the end of the day.
