    I went to "La puerta" on my last vacation, it is 80 km from my home. I did not need to buy any ticket for going there because I went  on my car (I think the word "onw" is not necesary in this case), so I just spent my money buying some fruit like apples, pineapples and bananas, also I bought  a jug of milk! (keep up the great job!!!)

    The last time I went on vacation was during our last holiday.  I went to La Puerta, which is 80 kilometers from my home.  I didn't have to buy a ticket for an airplane or train, because I went in my own car.  Instead of using the money to buy a ticket, I just spent it on fruit such as apples, pineapples and bananas.  I also bought a jug of milk. 

    You don't say that I went on my car. That would mean that you are sitting on top of your car. You are "in" your car which means you are inside the car. 

    You don't say spent money buying because spent and buying means the same thing.

    Oops!  I have an error.  ...because spent and money mean the same thing.

    Spent and money is a plural subject; more than one subject, so I need a plural verb; mean.

    The word means is a singular verb; only one subject.
