Other Than Your Car, Whats Your Most Expensive Hobby/Money Pit
I collect comic books. Not just any though. I buy really expensive and old ones and keep them preserved in air tight containers. smile.gif

I actually commonly put more money into my hobby than my car. I work at a local hobby shop and im into RC's I have a hpi 5t, traxxas, e-revo, summit, slash, associated tc3, on and on. Almost every car has more than 1000 into it sad.gif
I also have over 12 rc planes and 4 rc helicopters, one helicopter has a 5 foot rotor span and weighs over 20 pounds!
It is ridiculous I know. If I wasn't into the rc hobby I probably wouldn't have a hyundai though so in the end it works out well.

^ haha im more of an electric guy now. (Parkzone Habu FTW) But I had a gas yak 55 It was awesome but I needed to use my friends truck whenever I wanted to fly it LOL. You can not compare a gas plane to the lightweight foamys. The gas fly so much better.
Thats nice to see someone else into flying
03 accent, The XLB was awesome LOL. We used to have one to run around the parking lot and break every car it ever plowed into. Im not looking to buy any now but everytime I see a savage it makes me miss mine sleep.gif
