Which cost more: your system or your car?

my watch, my fishing/hunting trip budget, my books, my music...heck everything i have is worth more than my car.. to calculate the audio? 40 times as much as my car. the only money i spend on cars is maintenace and gas. you have to have priorities. ha. i just got rearended by a kid with no insurance and spent my insurance companies refund on all new cables. people see my dented bumper and back off realizing i must not care...........i have put more than one high dollar car wash out of business,,,,,,,,,

60x the auto , plus music ??!!??!!

Rhljazz and Tobuns, it's a bit deceiving to compare the initial purchase price of your BMW cars to the purchase price of your audio components.

As an owner, and past owner, of four BMW autos, I know very well the cost of repair and service for the brand.

If you've each owned your cars for 40 and 9 years respectively, then it's only fair to add in the cost of servicing, repairs, parts and tires over the term of ownership, yes?

Of course, now you'll both tell me you do your own repairs and servicing, and that you pick your own parts at the local wrecking yard for pennies on the dollar.

the one meter IC between DAC and pre cost more than my car. MY cartridge cost more than my car. Why? Who can afford a nice car when he's hooked on high end audio? I'm not an heiress, after all.

System, music, and car each cost me about the same. System by far is holding value best.
