It has always been cars for me too. 3 years ago I moved from Ohio to Montana, before moving I sold my track rat Miata to fund a Hightower. A few friends have bought new bikes this year and when I look there is nothing I would prefer to my bike right now. If mine broke I would get an aluminum Hightower.
Car projects are a great past time. I'm currently working on an 85 Fiero. Bought for $1,000 blew the engine and will replace it with a K20 from an Acura. The goal is a very reliable car to take on drives and hit some tracks along the way. I learned my lesson with the Miata, always keep the car comfortable enough to drive for a few hours or you will stop driving the fun car. I think the same applies to bikes, make sure your still challenged or you will get bored. My Hightower is still limited by my abilities so I enjoy trying to get more out of it.
