It's a worse hobby than hockey or anything else that actually gets you some exercise... even reading exercises the mind!
It's excess, just like 6 bedroom houses, Cadillacs, and my glorious home theatre. All of which listed above can be enjoyed year-round, at least.
That's MY view. It's a hobby with an asset that depreciates in value, requires extensive upkeep and insurance, and can only be enjoyed for a few months out of the year at that. It's a waste, and that's my opinion.
My collections, on the other hand, will ultimately appreciate. I already have them insured, and they require very little in upkeep besides a lukewarm room.
It's almost as bad as parking the Focus... at least you can pull the insurance off it for the winter. Well, that came out wrong. I know sleds and 4-wheelers can be insured seasonally.
It's not necessary to have one in order to get around. This isn't Nunavut. Even a motorcycle is flexible enough to take you wherever you want to go (not bound to trails) and you don't need a trail pass for a bike in order to be able to take it out of your driveway.
Sorry Nate, you're not winning this one. Skidoos and to a lesser extent 4-wheelers are just a waste of cash.

:lol:
Your trying to tell me your computer stuff will increase in value? Your doll stuff will give you excersice? Your kidding me right?
YOU waste your money on pointless mods like s2 suspension and nightshit, how can you come off saying skidoos are waste of money and its extensive?
Have you ever been sledding? In a powerful one at that? There isnt much that compares to driving fast in the snow on sled, its quite a rush, more than hanging out playing doom being scared shitless of a computer game :rolleyes: . Not even awd turbo cars can compare to going full blown in a trail with trees jumps and such....
If you ever been on ANY trails that are deep into the woods, youd know there was a TOTALLY different community out there. Restuaraunts, business's, out in the middle of the woods that support this sport.
Its not a matter of me winning or not...not even close, its you being an ass with those kind of statements, simple as that. 90% of this board could say you waste your money on stoopid things to, dont act like your the bomb because u think enjoying a winter sport is a waste of money.
EDIT: WTF does parking the focus have anythign to do with this? I know what I do to my Ford focus is a waste of money(In others eyes....That goes for the rest of this site to). But I enjoy wasting my money on my car and want to enjoy that for as long as I can. Wether its me enjoying working on a car that I love driving or watching midget porn, it really isnt any of your business what I enjoy spending my hard earned money on.
