Some of my mates spend a hell of a lot on football season tickets (plus the associated costs of transport, food, kits etc), or smoking or drinking, which are equally as expensive. If you smoke 10 a day that's over £1,250 per year (based on £3.50 for a 10 pack) which is more than I'd spend on parts for the 6 over the same period.
Any decent bird will respect you for what you like even if they don't like it....with the possible exception of gay bum sex.
Anyway, not meaning to start a discussion about smoking, I'm just saying people spend more money on other things like football and whatnot, which can be just as expensive. It's just a different outlet.
