Haha! At least I didn't post a pic of my massive collection...

Woodengun · 05-12-2015, 06:30 PM

What is massive? I'm small time with about 2 dozen.

dj_dub · 05-12-2015, 07:56 PM

^Then consider me small time as well...because I have around the same amount. lol

It's about the quality though, not the quantity with everything I have or do.

Woodengun · 05-12-2015, 08:05 PM

Yeah, i have good arms but nothing outrageous.

Browning citori shotguns, scar rifles and sig/fn handguns are what I have for my high end. I'd liken them to bmw, lol as an automobile analogy.

16s/17s in black. sr556c, 687 silver pigeon, TRG-22, MRAD-338, 700MLR 338, FS2000, PS90 gen1 pack green, 930spx tac, 500 20", etc
MC Operator, TRP Operator, 5.7 MKII, M&P40, G26, Hk45, etc

If i just sold Scopes, sights, range finder, spotting scopes, tac lights, 60% ammos, 2 plate carriers+molle stuff, (just on accessories) on forum/ebay, I think I can fund 40% value on F8x M3/4.

I know, I need help....

MrPrena · 05-20-2015, 05:02 PM

It's going to be a new golf clubs.
I just sold most of my 9 year old clubs, because my swing speed got slower (and due to my joint damage).

Good bye Ping i5 black dot ZZ65 stiff shaft....

Currently looking at used i20/25. Since I am going to be suck at golf again, I might get G20/25.

PoorLurker · 05-22-2015, 09:50 AM

I remember when golf was my money pit. One summer, I'd be on the greens everyday! I miss those days, but it definitely started to add up! Was exciting to wake up each morning looking for hot deals on different courses to see who had 50% off green fees, haha.

I'd say my bike is my money pit, but after the initial upfront cost, they are pretty inexpensive. I can ride from my front door to the dirt trails, so I don't use gas to get me there.

My wife would be a money pit, but she makes a lot more than me. However, I did buy her a car. Her car will depreciate like no other, so I am guessing that's my money pit. She does have a Hello Kitty rear view mirror covering the OEM one. I always get a nice reminder that I am driving her car when I look into it. Notice the little pink bag hanging from the rear view mirror? Yup, Hello Kitty as well. It's a good luck charm from a temple in Tokyo. Also, she has Hello Kitty and some anime character on her key to remind people that the car doesn't belong to me.

MrPrena · 05-28-2015, 01:54 AM

Hellokitty never dies in our family.
My toddler is a huge hellokitty fan. She is also a huge fan of spiderman and Disney's car fan as well.

Whenever McDonald Happy meal has a hellokitty toys, McDonald will be her favorite restaurant.

^My wife is the same way...well Hello Kitty and Disney that is. I've bought her so much of that stuff it's kinda sad. lol

sometorque · 05-29-2015, 01:30 PM

Ugh, it's not unfortunately. New acquisition I'm currently working on. I can't just be happy with one or two bikes, I've always got to have several lol

nusevad · 05-29-2015, 01:44 PM

Im going to have the biggest money pit out of every post in this thread in about 5 months...but should bring alot of joy and happiness too

All that suspension and no mountains to ride it on!

I loved my old enduro!

Needbmwpartzz · 05-29-2015, 10:19 PM

Sport bikes......I have easily dropped over 100k on them......luckily I survived to enjoy all of them

The only thing worse would be a yacht habit.....that one may take a while

Mr.SugarSkulls · 05-29-2015, 11:17 PM

Spent 100K buying the home, 25K remodeling- beachhome in Rosarito.

Bought it/had it remodeled for my mom and grandma, needless to say- they're ecstatic!

Next is my home which is being built from the ground up. Breaking ground this summer.

Congrats! I didn't catch this the first time.

@Mr.SugarSkills - Are you also building that in Mexico? Or ground up in the LBC?

CANGRKE70 · 05-30-2015, 12:38 PM

This year my home is my money pit, new fence and patio stones in the backyard, landscaping and concrete work in the front, new garage door, 2 upgraded washrooms and painting the whole house. Hopefully increases the value as we're looking to sell in August.

Yes sir- in Playas. But the home being built ground up will be for myself/future family to go vacation at.

I already own a condo at the west ocean towers in dtlb (where I stay when in SoCal) and a home in riverside (income property) in CA. The only other place is a condo at the Mosler tower in Seattle, but that's also an income property.

First couple signing bonuses/years of accumulated royalties I spent on real estate knowing it would benefit me in the long run. The home in Riverside though I took advantage of the first time home owner program back when the market had crashed in 2006-07, and my pops cosigned for me as a high school graduation gift rather than a car or vacation somewhere.

So just now playing catch up with The sports cars
