You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Competition paintball. During nicer months, I'm at the field 2-3 times a week. $60-$80/per trip. At least $4k in various types of gear.

Plus flying and traveling to events. Hotels. Food. Paint. Event paint is $40/case... We shoot 15 cases per match... 4 prelim matches, then semis and finals. 100 cases isn't unheard of.

In addition to the M3, I have quite a few money pits! An ATV and Dirtbike, Tennis, Snowboarding, etc. I also have a pretty decent guitar collection from over the years.

But this one takes the cake. 1979/2013 Cigarette 20.

Here is my current money pit: 69 Chevy C/20



That was a picture of it when i bought it. It is now stripped down and a buddy of mine is doing all the paint and body work. Im currently collecting parts to put her all back together again.

I also spend more money on this than I should, mainly on gas



Im just glad that Im done working on this, and should not have to dump any more money into her.

My Money Pits for the past 8 years or so have been:

1. Photography Equipment
2. Guns
3. My Car
4. Bicycles (Track Bikes, Road Bikes, Mountain Bikes)
5. Vape stuff (only did this for a year and I'm over it)

2 and 3 are the ones I continue to frequent year after year though.
