Did you spend more on equipment than your car?

Considering the shape my primary car is in after the interesting 'situations' I've put it through...

I'd say my camera gear would sell for much more than my car. I love both though, been through a lot with both camera and car!

I paid more for my Fuji P&S than I paid for my vehicle.

All of my camera equipment purchased new probably cost more than my car.

Well that's the average, there are loads of two-bed flats for over $1m, and according to the lists produced last week, there are four roads within 500yds of me that consist of houses that average over $5m. And if you want more than 4 bedrooms.....
I'm thankful I don't live in London though!
Imagine the camera gear for that much

Just totally bananas in my book. It would be a cold day in you know where that I would even live in a city, let alone get ripped off that badly to live like a prisoner to the city lifestyle. For that kinda money, I could own 1000 acres of the best farmland in Canada and not have any neighbours in site, not to mention rental of the land would buy a new car, truck, snowmobile and camera gear every year.

Heck, I'm moving to Canada.

i once sold a car i owned for $50.

I paid a buck for mine. Not counting title & tags of course.

I don't pay for my car, so yes I have spent more on my camera gear. (Company benefit)
