That's true. Very true!

Also...

...when you hide or keep a secret on your rc expenses from your wife or girlfriend but proudly tell friends how much everything damaged your wallet.

...when you stare and check at your car and new equipments/parts before going to sleep and just after you wake up.

...when you stick the spare body decals on your phone, PDA or laptop.

...when you think about it even when you're at work.

...when loggin on, the first site you check is rctech or other rc related sites.

when your 40 years old and cant let your parents come over, my dad one day started to count out loud how many cars he could count in my pit room.
when he reached 39 i said is there a problem
he rolled his eyes and said i dont know how much this stuff costs but you have a small fortune invested.
my reply: so whats the big deal? lol lol!
he did not see 10 more in the closet!

"You know you're addicted to buying rc's when the FOR SALE forum on every major R/C site is bookmarked...."

Your addicted when you have nightmares about gritty diffs..........

Your addicted when the thought of poorly meshed gears makes your head spin...

Your addicted when you want to vomit at the thought of gritty bearings....
