How much cash you put into your ride to date?

Not including what you paid for the ride but just growing, maintaining or supporting the AMG hobby?

Had mine for about 5 years now and about 40K to play so far. I`m sure I missed a few yams but should be in the range at least.

This is like counting how much you drink in a year. You really don't want to know. So long as you're happy.
