How 'bout the mid-life crisis Harley-Davidson? You can do a lot of buying and flying of R/C for the price of a Harley.
And I remember when the only honest way to own a Harley was to steal one. Now you've got to be a professional who wants to be a greaser after hours.
Lots of espensive toys and fund drains out there: bass boats, Corvettes, classic cars (my other car is a 1956 Ford 640 tractor

), horses, varmint rifles, English double rifles, mistresses, gambling, cigarette smoking, driving any German car that's not a VW, ebaY, etc. etc.
We all make choices.
