    I am so guilty of this!

    Granted, if it is a new activity or hobby where rookies don’t destroy gear, it makes sense to me. It lets me skip the constant upgrading as my skills increase.

    I’ll buy a zillion dollar airbrush and learn to use it, and feel incentivised to take care of it. I didn’t do the same with my first Jeep when I got into offloading. My first one was a cheap junker that I could roll if I did a rookie move.

    As for a slur for people like me…I dunno, whatever makes you feel superior I guess. If it is creative or funny enough, I’ll happily adopt it and use it 👍
