Let's see that money on paper !, show us your receipt records ! Options

Please show us all of those years of saved and hard earned money you have put into your 914 ! Please remove all manuals or notes, and only leave in the receipts that are involved in your car now, yes, including oil, or trans. fluid, if you'd like. So, if you use your car cover, and the receipt is in the pack, leave it. I sold my re-built 2.0 , so I took out the receipts for that and the muffler, for example. I also sold the 73 parts car for my conversion, so any receipts that came with that car are VOID, unless, the parts are on my car now, like the re-built transmission that came with it, or the racing seats for example, leave those receipts if the parts are on your car now.......then, once you have cleared out your non-sense brochures or receipts, than measure with a ruler or measuring tape. Let's see who's got the biggest stack.



Looks pretty thick, but then....



it only measures out 1" !!!!!!! Approx. $30k spent(including 2.0 though, and conversion).

My stack of reciepts is a little over 1 3/4 inches. The reciepts date all the way back to day one. I have only owned the car for a couple years so most of the reciepts are the from original owner. I have never added up the totals so not sure about the total $ value.

Pretty thicker, there doode !!! It would really be interesting to see what those receipts add up to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

A lot of guys don't like to add up the receipts, here is something to think about.....the money is gone, so it doesn't make a difference what you have spent on it unless you are considering selling it. However, I found, that when I added up, and went through my receipts, it was fun, because it brought back memories of certain places I had to go to get certain items, some of the problems I had with certain vendors, some of the deals I found, price comparisons of stuff today, stuff that I brought and may not have actually needed, who to call if I need certain parts again, and a real reminder of what I went through over the course of 8 years, to get the car where it is today. Those reciepts that many are scared to look at, have the entire history of the car in them. It can also help you determine if you want to put anymore money into the car, from where you stand. For me, I had a look and feel that I wanted when the car was sitting on the drive way, not even running, from the begining, and was determined to finish the project, and nothing was going stop me. So for those of you who consider looking through your receipts, I think you should, they also show repairs that may have been done to your car, and then you know what you are really driving !!!
