As of july this year, it has cost me 2,650 dollars a year to drive and own my T. New expenses for 2007 amounted to about 600 dollars for fuel, insurance, a couple tires and a brake update. I do most of my own work so there is very little outside expense involved. I don't get a lot of miles because my ol bum and knees just don't get along all that well with settin flat on the floor but every one of those miles is a hoot. Thing is, I get more enjoyment out of the tinkering with it than anything else. I guess that cost is just a secondary thing to what you enjoy. The more youenjoy it the more it costs and the more it costs ad infintum.
