Lets look at it logically Alex.
If you buy a car how much is fuel going to cost you each time you drive into down. And how more often will you be tempted to drive into town now that you have reliable transport, and probably spend money anyway. And probably feel guilty about what you are doing to your bank balance, and the environment, and not being home when you are needed, and supporting the multinational oil companies that are ripping you off anyway, and don't care about your guilt because they don't have any themselves, so you will feel doubly bad.
Now, how much is it going to cost you to drive your wife's new car into town? And how more often will you be tempted to drive into town, feeling guilty about asking to borrow the car, and probably spend more money, and still damaging the environment and you bank balance, and supporting the multinational oil companies that are ripping you off anyway, and don't care about your guilt because they don't have any themselves, so you will feel doubly bad.
Now, if you buy and EQ6 and an 80mm Apo, you will feel guilty straight away, but you won't be polluting the environment, you won't be paying out on fuel, you will be home where you are needed, and you bank balance won't suffer. So your guilt will be sharp, but short lived and will then be replaced by pure bliss as you survey and image those magnificent skies with exquisite tracking.
Oh but then there is the fridge. Hmmmm....would you settle for an Orion ED80 and an EQ6
That should leave enough over for a good fridge
