300 dollars in pre-running misc Autozone parts
40 bucks for the u-haul trailer
75 bucks for the EW5 (75 bucks! Chris, U-da-mahn. )
675 dollars to the mechanic
200 dollars misc autozone parts for the mechanic.
200 dollars misc junkyard stuff.
280 dollars to DMV for backfees.

The way it is now, I'm at exactly 2,000 dollars, odly enough.

And it's still not really running yet. Need a rad, and I's probably going to need that special smog service. You all know the one.
