There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Who cares how much money you spent

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is...
Very few people complain of wasted money - tho we all wish extra bits weren't so expensive.
I haven't noticed anyone bragging about how rich they are...
Hmm - we used to put our dollars into money pits like home renovations, raising a family etc, now that's all done we can call our spyders money pits if we like - but we don't.
We are paying happily for the pleasure we get from our spyders.
our money -our choice

jimmybarton,
Something you should perhaps keep in mind. There will always be people who have much less than you and think that you are wealthy regardless of what you think and there will always be people who have more. The same applies to each and every one of us. I got over a long time ago that others have more than me. The only people that should care what I have is my wife and I.
Because many of us are retired and worked hard for our money and choose to spend it as we see fit and can take time to travel and do things, you say we are BSing or are CEO's or a big bucks daddy. And incidentally, I don't complain about the quality of my Spyder or name it. Others do, so what, if they wish to. And I'm sure many on here contribute to society in many different ways to try and help others.
I read and reread your post and fail to see the need to judge others if I understood it as you intended.

I have no idea what the OPs point was, but what I spend money on is no ones business but mine.

Yep, yep, yep, Phil. I think he is actually complaining about having to read threads that he doesn't like........to which there is an easy fix that is pretty bloody obvious

:agree: And Likewise, whatever anybody spends on whatever they want to spend their money on, is none of my business. Who cares what "rich people" spend their money on. It's theirs.

I don't know, but it sounds like you might sneak a peek or two before hitting the sack. Is it tradition or anthropomorphizing?

How Much Money?
I traded off a 2006 Harley Davidson Ultra Class Peace Officer Edition, for a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. With not a single regret. The Harley was just becoming too cumbersome for two up riding through stop and go traffic, construction zones, parking lots, etc. And the Spyder is not. It's a welcome relief. But being retired military, living on a pension, VA disability, and SSDI, there is little discretionary income. So obtaining farkles has to be carefully considered and thought out. Some are for comfort, some are nice to have, and some for convenience. But needed maintenance takes priority every time, and whether it needs maintenance or repair, it goes to the dealer.

It's a matter of personal choices and priorities: nobody should be able to tell you what to do!

Wow, I can't believe this crazy thread is still alive. It's nobodies business what anyone else does with their money. That's why it is called THEIR MONEY!
Wow! Ever heard of the phrase, "pick your battles"? Everybody's situation is different. Just enjoy the ride.

I am retired, I took my first job at 14 and there were many since then. My final appointment was 20 years and I spent sometimes 200 nights per year on the road in NA and other parts of the world, was it a waste of time, in some people's minds, I don't care.
When I lived in a community within the borders of a MUNICIPAL golf course, I bought a new golf cart, was it a waste of money, maybe to many. When they decided they needed money for the course, they sold lifetime memberships, I gave them the equivalence to 7 years of annual membership fees, was it a waste maybe to many.
When my kids graduated from HS we gave them the Dave Ramsey book, Total Money Makeover, congratulated them and said now, you are an adult, all decisions have an up side and a down side. You need to decide if college is for you, then figure out how to pay for it. The oldest and youngest figured it out right away, the middle son, said why won't u pay for mine all my friends parents are. I said ok I will pay for it, he said great, and turned to walk away. I said wait, remember there is a down side to that, since we are paying for your studies, when we retire we will need to move in with you for our golden years, he said ok I will figure it out.
The oldest got a bunch of scholarships, and worked all four years, graduated with less than $20k in loans, then payed it off in 18 months, the middle son got ROTC scholarships and they paid almost all of it and he graduated with no loans. The youngest joined NG Army and graduated with no loans.
Wasrting money, we have our enjoyment, and spend wisely, but also tithe at church, serve others with the church, donate every month to St. Jude's Hospital and I do Meals on Wheels and Habitat for Humanity. Some friends think some of that is a waste of money also, I don't care, I get such peace from the Spyder, surely a waste of money but it is for us, so I don't care.
