I guess it's better than drugs right? I mean women spend thousands of dollars on clothes and purses every year...my cousin paid $500 for a freaking purse. Everyone's gotta have their hobbies (vices)

Over 5k from estimations. Never totalled it before. I sure do enjoy it, but had I known it would cost 5k I might not have ever started lol. BUT I wonder how long alcoholics take to spend 5k on their hobby? Smokers? I suppose if I had to have a hobby, I could have chosen a better one for someone as Conservative as I am, but this one isn't too bad. Plus I buy and sell equipment, do recones and amp repairs. I have probably made as much as I spend. I also put on local car audio shows and try to get people to be more RESPECTFUL with their hobby. Car audio if for YOU... not everyone around you. Turn it down at stoplights, in residential neighborhoods, and when people are likely to be trying to sleep. A big problem with us is, we were brought up to want attention. We were never taught consideration. Have some consideration for your fellow man. They don't want to shake and vibrate or hear the f bomb dropped by some illiterate wanna be thug.
