Which cost more: your system or your car?

When you're a bottom feeder like me, it's harder to figure out.

I have a $40K Lincoln Town Car, but I bought it used for $7.5K.

My 7.1 ch. HT audio system retails for around $12K, but I have about $4800 in it. My 2-channel analog-based system retails at around $9K, but I spent around $3.5K.

It was much easier to answer when I was driving a $2200 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, which I traded in on the Lincoln.

Wife, house, cars, systems, in that order.

My system, but if I had kept that 1971 911 Targa in good condition, who knows?

My speaker cables cost more than my car !

At current list price, my monobloc amplifiers are neck and neck with my car.
