Post your RC Addicts Anonymous war story here!!

Ahh what an excellent read!

My name is Sid and I also have an addiction. Thankfully, I can put the blame for my addiction fairly and squarely on the shoulders of my lovely missus. Back in '06 she really wanted a Suzuki Swift for a car. Being Christmas time (not the best time to buy cars) I thought I would get her the next best thing - a remote controlled one. Off to the hobby shop I went, and home I returned with a brand new Tamiya M-03 swift.

Needless to say, she drove it once, got bored after 10 minutes, and then I had a drive..... Need I say more lol?

This year I have converted 2 nitro trucks to electric, bought 3 new trucks (and sold a few) as well as investing in 2 new aircraft and a 1/5 scale Baja...

Having just ordered an 80mm Medusa for a Christmas pressent for myself, I am now minutes away from placing an order for some new LiPos from hobbycity.

My poor paypal account is thoroughly abused, my missus can't understand why I can't stop, my friends, instead of deserting me are all looking over my whenever I take one of the RC's out, and the neighbors all hate me! They hate me because their kids all want RCs now lol :)

I never drank or smoked much before either, just couldn't see the point to it, but I am constantly amazed at how much I am able to spend on this hobby and feel good about it.

I've done something else that's interesting tho. I am trying to (as best I can) record all of my spending's in an excel spread sheet. I reckon it'll be an interesting read at the end of next year :) I just have to make sure my better half doesn't get wind of it lol.

Anyway, salutations to all you other addicts out there. I feel your pain :)
