Anyone spend more on their system than their car?

I just signed the papers for a used Pontiac Vibe, will cost me $12,600 + tax and (almost dead)trade-in. This is a few $K less than I spent on my main system, and one of the reasons I didn't spend more is to be able to afford a new preamp sometime this spring. I'm not quite sure what else I would have bought. I do lust after the Hemi Magnums, but was determined to buy something socially responsible - I dunno, maybe if I hadn't blown so much on audio, I'd have gotten a Prius. Is anyone else not driving the car of their dreams to afford audio? Or skimped on other things that most people wouldn't to afford their system?

Audio systems can be very expensive, as we all know. Mine cost more than my 4x4 pickup truck and my Lexus combined. But, I also have a Frieghtliner tractor and trailor and it costs less then that.
Doesn't bother me to think about it at all. For what I get from listening to music, the fun of playing around with the system, and the audio friends I have met, I have no regrets about the cost.
