So ever since I've gotten my Cobalt I've keep record of everything that I've purchased for it so far. Today I was curious as to how much I've actually spent on it so far and I thought I would share with everyone. Here's my breakdown:

Parts: $2,874.14
Labor: $ 780.30
Shipping: $ 174.76
Misc: $ 181.20
Tax: $ 28.01
-----------------------
Total: $4,038.47

No wonder why I'm always broke.

Most of my labor was from when I got my huge scratch removed from my rear bumper. As is the Misc section. You'll look at the bill breakdown and there is always the Misc. charges.

In parts I've also included the Radar Detector I bought plus some stuff I've gotten that I haven't put into my car yet like my Shift Light and Exhuast.

Just curious if anyone else would like to share.
