Uh, no...... I know you're just kidding Rich, but just to set the record straight for everyone else- no I don't. In fact, what's funny is of all the things that I've done to my car, only the blower, cai, and cams came from Brenspeed. Let's see: the body parts, wheels/tires, gears, driveshaft, stripes, brakes, headers, midpipe, mufflers, etc. etc. etc. were either purchased used as deals in the classifieds or purchased new from other vendors who were running specials. Am I a Brenspeed fan? Yes, because they have great customer service. Plus we trade beers at the track and shows, on occasion. Besides, all the money I've spent is listed in my signature......

This is true!!!!! I sold Tom a set of running pony spinners for his wheels a couple of years ago. This was long before Tom's car became the beast that it is today. Just messing with ya Tom! 
We're kidding Tom. I pay for my stuff too... well 99% of it. 
I only wished Ford Racing stepped in during my time of need and provided a GT500 crate engine, but that didn't happen.

Haha, yes indeed! 
I'm in good company with you fine Mustang owners!
I've been challenged with double mortgages (can't sell me old house when military orders had me move), and it put a reign on the mods over the past year. But I'm about start up again!
What all parts have I gotten from you over the years? Roush Scoop (SWEET DEAL!) and and Xcal1 that I bought for friend... who couldn't use it since my tuner didn't have the cord, ha!
It's all in good fun! Congrads on the cover shot, sweet!

Your post on 1/21/07 has to be seriously outdated.

Darn you Rich, honestly I had never summed the dollar amount until now........
~about $1400 in appearance mods
~about $3400 in performance mods (including dyno tunes, exhaust experiments, etc.
I will say though that I've been lucky in being able to install everything myself except for the gears and obvious dyno time. Those two things are the only things that I've paid someone to do to my car; if I paid labor for everything, likely the dollar total would be atleast 50% higher.

I've been through two motor builds, too (well, one build and one refresh) and two tranny builds. And last I looked, if add up all mods and maintenance (including at least 30 pairs of tires... seriously), and things I had to replace after the fire (track wheels/tires, roll cage door bars, etc), I'm closing in on $50K. Not counting the original price of the car. hahah
