I just picked up a new (to me) vehicle, a 2003 Toytota Prius. I travel quite a bit during the week job related, and the vehicle is such a gas meiser (45-50 mph) I'm saving wads of money on gas now. Enough money that I can afford a 200.00 preamp by the end of the month just from gas savings.

So the new saying in my world;

Save gas, buy gear.
 
Think of it as investing your money into a quality instrument that will only appreciate in value over time. So eventually when you're gone, the grandkids can sell it and possibly fund their college education or help them buy their first house.

If you play it in the meanwhile, what's the harm in that? ;)
