Anyone spend more on their system than their car?


I just signed the papers for a used Pontiac Vibe, will cost me $12,600 + tax and (almost dead)trade-in. This is a few $K less than I spent on my main system, and one of the reasons I didn't spend more is to be able to afford a new preamp sometime this spring. I'm not quite sure what else I would have bought. I do lust after the Hemi Magnums, but was determined to buy something socially responsible - I dunno, maybe if I hadn't blown so much on audio, I'd have gotten a Prius. Is anyone else not driving the car of their dreams to afford audio? Or skimped on other things that most people wouldn't to afford their system?

My system is just slightly ahead of my new car (Honda HR-V EX-L).  Got to keep priorities straight!  Must admit as a 1st time Honda owner that they did an amazing job with the HR-V design inside and out.  Most enjoyable ride I've had.
