I think I have almost broken even with the things I have bought and sold over the years. Well at least until I get my RC10GT next week.

If a friend gets you a beer from the bar, is it acceptable for the friend to stick his finger in the opening to bring back several beers to the table at once?

Bought an RS4 18SS on 8/1/05 for about $310. On 9/5/06 I had an order history at tower totaling an additional $870 that doesn't include my LHS purchases.

Once I stopped hunting curbs and folding my chassis' like tacos, my spending has been only about $210 since September '05. Until...

I dropped $378 for a Savage SS 4.6 yesterday and still need a Spektrum receiver and servos for it (estimated $200 right there).

Some people do crack, others hookers and strippers. R/C is my vice and my wife better be glad!
