Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Sim racing and Photography

Started with a $200 wheel and pedals setup, now my rig is worth we’ll over $2.5k and is basically top of the line. Upgraded parts one at a time over the last few years and it’s now as good as it gets.

Photography has me slowly upgrading lenses and eventually a new camera body. Just upgraded to a 200-500 F5.6 lens the other week for when I’m going to shoot the Daytona 24 this coming January.

I don't get sim-racing. Even an expensive setup doesn't feel anywhere close to real driving.

Lmao you’re so fixated on sim racing, you responded to it twice in the same post!

We can say that about anything, but lots of us choose not to because it’s more fun. You should try, it’s not hard.

“A flight simulator doesn’t feel like actually flying.” “Reading a book isn’t like actually being there.”

Neat.
