I'm lucky to have access to a surf boat a couple weeks a year, and honestly, owning one of those doesn't sound appealing at all. A ton of fun in use, but just so much more hassle than a "basic" boat, not the least of which is the horrible low-speed steering.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Owning a place on a lake with permanent docking facilities would help a lot. I'm lucky to get those thrown in when I borrow the boat . . .

Boat maintenance is essentially a fixed cost whether you use it or not. The key is to use it lots.
I try to be honest with my self in that even if I bought an amazing boat, I’d likely never use it.

Yeah we've got a slip and typically spend a lot of time at the lake, ignoring the last 2 summers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yes the key is to use it lots to lower the per-hour cost for those fixed items. Spending hundred of hours a year on your boat is winning at life. Spending a dozen hours a year, that's losing.
Fuel on a surf boat is in the $100/hr range too, but I always advocate increasing our individual hydrocarbon consumption by every means possible. So that's just a social benefit really.

Boats are great when you’re single… or when your kids are old enough to start learning to ski… besides that, unless you’re at the lake FT with a good network of other like minded folks and you’re all reeeeaaaallly dedicated to a daily ski, yeah… not a ton of use. Personally I’d rather see more cable parks. Alberta needs one. I dunno why we don’t, the basic system is pretty good ROI vs going rate for a 10min setThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Every time I see a boat, my mind just automatically says ...."sucker!"This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Similar to when I see someone picking up dog shit while their dog stares at them.
I don’t really have a dream car anymore.
But it would be a GT3, or an R8. Something that revs forever.
I also have always wanted to do an 300whp NA K24 four door civic Si. That is probably my dream car, I Still watch dumb videos on YouTube about them. Lol.

On the topic of just driving a boat around for fun, these can't be beat.
I've been looking for a cheap one to keep at my in laws place on lake okanagan, but everyone wants crack money for them.
We've been really happy with our LC500, one of my favorite cars I've owned. There are quite a few pretty impactful changes from the first model year to the current one, so if anyone is seriously considering buying an LC, do some research into this. Savage Geese YT channel has one of the better break downs of the various changes made throughout the life of the LC500 so far.
Rage asked me to do a review of this car, I'm going to try and do something reasonably decent before the snow flies and we park it until next year. We were considering replacing it for this season, but couldn't find anything we liked much better. Maybe for 2022, we'll see, the LC is a tough act to beat for a GT car, and most of the KMs we put on it are driving between the Western Provinces on the highway.
Dream car for me would be a Porsche 911 Turbo S of the current generation. That or a 959, which isn't really drivable, but still is the dream car of my youth, and still is up there. Maybe one of the R8 V10s.
That’s actually a pretty realistic outcome for me. Probably get a couple so we can race them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Agreed on pricing though things have gone straight bonkers.

I'm too young for a midlife crisis car and already have one, and all i ever do is think about what i could sell it to buy... I don't know how you guys can choose though, i wish i had one of everything lol
Having a single car garage has saved me a lot of money.
