Hell I had a 1993 RX7TT I bought brand new when I was 21, with lousy interest rates at the time my payment was $730 and my insurance was $300 a month 
Is a Gallardo worth the $3500 a month plus gas and insurance? I wish I could afford to investigate... 
And how are you only spending $100 a month on mods, are you shopping at AutoZone??

I probably spent at LEAST $1k/month in the 7-8 months I've owned my Mustang, but that is a small price to pay for:
* Not dreading the drive to work, because every morning is a chance I "get" to drive my Mustang.
* Even bad days at work are slightly less bad because I know I have a wonderful car waiting for me outside.
* 5-6PM is even better than it was before, because I get off work AND I get to drive my car all the way home.
* I love driving so much that I'm purposely choosing to live 12 miles (mostly interstate) away from my work, even though it would be about $200/month cheaper to rent an equivalent place 1 mile from work.
* Very few other people make this reverse commute (work in the cheap area, live in the expensive area), so that makes every commute wonderful (and the sadistic side of me enjoys seeing the other side of the interstate constantly bumper to bumper while I cruise to work at 75mph).
* Sorry about the tangent, back to the car; I fill up almost twice a week with premium, and although I used to cringe at the $60 weekly fillups on my Volvo, I don't think twice about the $50 I spend on the Mustang, because the amount of happiness I get out of this car makes the cost almost irrelevant (I think this will be true until gas hits at LEAST $5-6/gallon).

(P.S.: In case anyone got the wrong idea, I'm definately not well off, I sacrifice alot of things in my life to have that perfect commute every day.. I eat ham sandwiches with no dressings 90% of my meals, but driving >> eating good food)
