All of this ''drifting'' cost me 1300€ in repairs

I really put this Volvo to the limit, always high revs. One day all of the transmission fluid came out after doing donuts in a parking lot. Then i took it to a mechanic and there were even more problems.
The repairs were:
Torque converter (350€)
Angle gear (300€)
Pump (50€)
Something with the differential (100€)
Removing/Installing the transmission (250€)
New transmission oil (100€)
Installing angle gear and other things (150€)

So i deeply regret it, but atleast it was fun.

So all the oil leaked our and some point there was no lubrication?

I feel like that little bit of innocent fun didn't break all those parts. There may have been some long term maintenance issues, or somebody dropped it into gear with revs up for a launch too many times.

All that work was less expensive than it would be here in the States.

I made millions in the stock market in the 1999-2000 bubble and spent 95% of it on girlfriends and cocaine.

The rest I wasted.
