New speakers or new car?

ever notice it’s easier to spend $50,000 on speakers than $50,000 on a new car? Why is that. Is it because my living room is not big enough for a car?

Seriously, I need a new car. So maybe I need to come to terms with that and somehow find a way for it to be easier to spend a lot of money on a new car. Maybe it’s because a speaker doesn’t come with annual recurring costs like insurance and all the gasoline or electricity you gotta put into it.

Or maybe I just do both.

There was a time in the early 2000's when my bikes + my wife's bikes, cost more than my car!  NOT motor bikes.

At the time was racing (up mountains) as an ultra veteran.  My Audio systems (NYC & VT) together cost about the same as the total of car + bikes.

This was an easy question for me.  We just finished paying off her car just a few months earlier, she allowed me to get the Amati G5’s. 😁

Somedays I wonder how you all have BICYCLES with a msrp higher than my 1900 cc rocket on me crotch Yamaha Raider or my Vulcan Nomad..

I should start selling toilet paper rolls with a 15k msrp...because R&D and I gotta keep the lights on ( boo hoo, woe is me,  i need some patriotic pity to keep my lights on, my friends)...
