All told (gas, insurance, etc)? Maybe 5-10%. House/food/kids are much more than that. Edit - forgot to mention it’s spread over 3 cars. ---

There is a huge difference between money spend on “mods”, and money spent on cars alltogether. If you think about it, a lot of people pay more in Gas, Insurance, and routine Maint. then they do on the actual car payment. X… ---
