I am 46 years old. I drive around in a Type S Jaguar with two "toy" trucks in the trunk, just in case I find a good bash site. Just yesterday after a meeting with a local health plan's medical director I found a construction site. For about a 1/2 hour if you drove by you could see this guy (with a silly grin on his face) in a white shirt and tie playing with his "toy truck" in the mud.  |
Anther guy with a jag... My dad used to have a bunch of those, xj6, xj12, 60's mark 2, etc....
TDC57 has a jag too.
I do like the random acts of rc... I was in a constuction site a week ago, pitch black outside. I had one streetlight about 200yards away, and my waterproof truck is black too. I have had some weird looks from people while playing.
I have only done rc for 2 years or so, and have easily spent 20k. At one point I had 70 vehicles, but cut back to 40. Almost all are MT or 1/8 scale and they are all brushless. I like building, but just can't bring myself to sell a project. So I put it on the shelf and leave it for 6 months until i get an idea of how to remake it. My current craze is 6x6 MT and scale crawlers. Just dropped 500 bucks on a bunch of parts, money sure spends easily when I have 4 projects going at the same time. But I try to buy used stuff as much as possible, my method of keeping the costs down (or just getting more stuff!!!).
RC keeps me busy, and I quit drinking and going out as much. So I saved about 150-200 a weekend on drinking and going out to dinner. Plus it keeps me away from the single women, who always seem more interested when you are "taken"...
