That adds up to tens of thousands of dollars. In fact, one of the people I'm talking about put $30,000 into his BMW...and he's not rich either. A few hundred dollars for a new laptop part is peanuts in comparison.

As you might guess, I don't drive a catchy car. Nor do I care.
Ya I know, but I was 15-16 at the time. When I got my Taurus SHO at 16..sold it 3 years later I had about $8000 in repair and mods. It turned out to be a pretty car and it was damn fast, but yeah... Now I got a 99 BMW 328is that I've upgraded the headlights to projectors and bought 6000k Xenons. When you are young I don't think you can go by without modifing something.

Every new story I hear makes me glad I'm not into cars. I'm not going to tell you what I drive, but consider that statement a huge hint.

Hopefully your computer is not worth more than your car!

It's amazing what people will spend to win the 3dmark pissing contests. ATI and Nvidia are in the right business.
