Gary,
Can't do anything about maintenance, but the custom work is all about the forums and a little about what you see on the street. Once someone joins the forums, it almost gets addictive to start moding the vehicle. There's so much talk and pictures floating around you feel you just gotta do something to make the PT unique and different from the run of the mill PT on the streets.
The speed additions are something else and a lot of owners just want their car (any car) faster than the norm.
Glad I didn't keep all my receipts. I'd probably find I'm in the same boat as you as far as spending. Just enjoy the ride.
