What else drains your wallet? (Post your "toys" thread)

[Greazygeo]

Cars for me too. I prefer old Chevy muscle. I have two rest$orations in progress now.

Nice 70! I have a 71 I'm working on. I've been eyeing a 65 SS racecar now....man is it tempting!

Here are a few examples of the primary drain on my resources:
Some days, I wish that I had opted for a badass car (or bike) instead. Most days, the dogs give me great joy and a lot of pride in what I have created. For those that watch the National Dog Show on turkey day, you may have seen the boy in the middle the last two years.

Cars do it for me as well... Here are a couple of my most recent...

Truck was a SVT Lightning. Factory supercharged, lots of aftermarket performance stuff (full exhaust, intake, shift kit, suspension work, tune, etc...). It was really fun. Traded it in on the new Mustang. The new 5.0 is a beast (haven't even broken it in yet... only about 800 miles). Got a few grand in suspension parts sitting in my garage waiting to put on it in the spring.

Lately I've been working on my '93 F-150. With only 120k miles on it, and since it was a gift from my wife's grandfather, I'm trying to keep it in tip top shape. The longer I can hang on to this bad boy, the better. Working on the Front end right now, getting everything back up to spec, one weekend at a time.

Beautiful. I had a couple guys recommend those to me. I am on the wait list for a Rottie from a breeder in Michigan.

With 2 homes right now, the second mortgage and many upgrades to the new house are draining the wallet.

Guitar gear gets the vast majority of my disposable income. Although I am also into photography and restoring my 1966 mustang coupe (at a very slow rate).

 

[Shark Diver]

Sold this in '11. (divorce is a bitch) I did buy a lot of real estate in '11 though. I'm getting back into diving/surving so I'm sure they'll be some new, expensive stuff around here soon. But for now...
Most of my extra $ now goes to my mom who is fighting her 4th cancer.

I want a LP640 eventually but for now I am into old finned out Cadillacs.

Eyeing this 61 Bubble top right now.

Nice cars guys! Someday I will own a nice classic mustang, with a terminator swap or something similar

 

[TeleBlaster]

I'm a bit of a car guy as well. Had quite a few over the years. I've calmed down a little but still keep a Lambo and others in the garage.

I like cars too...

Pics of the lambo please.

since you asked for it...

a pic from a couple of years ago same garage

I have settled down as well on the car front but pics from a few years ago.

Cannot even comprehend what it's like to live in this world.

One of these days I have to scan all of my old car and bike pics. Ive lived in Manhattan for 20 years now and havent ever needed a car since. I had a bunch of cool interesting rides;

Dodge Viper with Hennesy mods( Holy Crap, Fast and Fun)
Lambo Countach( horrible cars but holy crap, absolute showstoppers and attention getters; got it for a steal, drove it for almost a year and flipped it with a 2k profit)
Ferrarri TR 512 Testarossa( was probably my favorite car)
Mercedes 560sec that was seriously hopped up performance and audiowise.
69 Camaro SS Convertible-Favorite old muscle
67 427 conv vette- eye popping but a bit of a pig, had tons of mojo
Calloway Twin Turbo Vette-Fast and fun,refined..

For a long time, I did not miss driving at all, I was totally happy taking trains out of the city, reading books and listening to music without having to worry about traffic or retards cutting me off. Lately though, Ive been getting the itch to just get in a car and drive..

I see a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in my near future...
