Welcome to the world of photography. And when you know that your camera is more expensive than your car, and then you realise that your car was up near the $80,000...then you start to worry what your next camera is going to be...lmao!

I think my bike is worth more than my car too

My car is a bike. Two of them actually. One cost the same as my camera body and the other was the price of a lens.

my sister totalled my car and instead of getting a new "preowned" car I have the insurance money in the bank and used a small portion to purchase half of my D200. Now no car insurance :). But if I am walking around with bag loaded with two bodies and 5 lenses and a flash I got a pretty sweet ride :D
