Gas, tires, parts, entry fees, etc. are all "just throwing money away from a financial perspective." We all pay money for pleasure - the pleasure is the only asset that matters... unless we want to brag that we own things or it's an investment. All I'm saying is look at ALL cash outlays and ask if that cash outlay is providing you the pleasure you want or if that could be used elsewhere (e.g. sell musical instruments and buy a car). To me, it seemed like he had a lot of money tied up in comparison to his income and it was more about "how can I afford this too?" when he's already doing really well for himself.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
