[Ongoing Record] What I've Spent on My 2002 Porsche Boxster S and Known History

I thought it would be interesting to record how much money I've spent on my 2002 Porsche Boxster S. I'm not going to include cleaning products, fuel, road tax, and insurance (these things are unavoidable except you could have a dirty car if you so wished). Some things are things that I didn't have to spend, just wanted to do.
