Lets see:

Car: $17,000
Empeg: $1,300
Amp: $200
GPS: $100

empeg:car 13:1
electronics:car 11:1
Mine goes the other way quite a bit

But, if we look at my Mark 1 and car, it's different

Car: $200
Empeg: $1200
Amp: $200
Speakers: $200

empeg:car 1:6
electronics 1:8

It was a cheap car, and well, for all the pain and hassle, I abandoned it when it decided to strand me. There is a point where cheap is too cheap and turns into an expensive mess. 2 days later I pulled up next to it to grab the amp and such in my new car.

Down the road I might think of getting a better car, but for now with my age and insurance, well, I'll put it this way: That new car above costs me as much a month in insurance as it does in car payments. Anything more expensive and I really would have needed a very well paying job, instead of the well paying one I have now.
