It's a lot of money for sure.

My current four wheel drive cost me $100,000AUD to buy and I've modified it and added accessories to the value of $25,000 on top and there's still other things I could add. I've been conservative and have focused on what I need mostly.

The thing is, when I take my vehicle out to the places i choose to go it will either break (costing way more money) or simply not make it and either way that doesn't make good sense to me.

We all live in different worlds and in mine, Australia, it costs this sort of money to go to remote places with one's own vehicle and my life is too short to waste it sitting around doing fuck all; I'd rather be out living it the best I can so that at the end I can say it was fulfilling and meaningful. I make that happen in various ways and having hobbies like this is one such way.
