How often do you upgrade your other passions?


Here in audio-land, we read about the hot new amp or CD player and we think, "geez, I've got to find a way to get that." Or, the upgraded version of what we've currently got comes out, and loving what we have, we really have to have the new improved version.

How about other hobbies / passions? How quickly do you upgrade to the new watch model, the new bike, the new car? Are we semi-unique here in audio-land, or merely a pattern that exists everywhere?

ooohhh! I almost forgot I love BEER and explore every time extra-ordinary bars that actually produce their own beer or brew on the premises under the trademarks of famous european beer brewers. Getting to the Manhattan with public transportation gives me a possibility to drink a beer with no limitation! Very often I can consume a tremendows amount of beer that can rich three or more liters per one bar visit.
A beer is less expencive habbit than audio or wine i believe:)
Hmm... for me it's audio, cars and computers. The computers get upgraded a lot - those upgrades are, by comparison to high end audio, almost free! The cars are a different problem, as upgrades there generally cost more than what I've been spending on audio. Actually at this point I think I'm going to chnage cars rather than upgrades, as the upgrades are getting too expensive and I can't actually take advantage of a lot of the benefits of any futher upgrades.
Is buying new music an 'upgrade'? If so, I think there are probably few hobbies that go through as many 'upgrades' as this one. ;)
