Wow guys!  Way to scare the newbies!  Sheesh. Welcome to a very time consuming, and possibly costly hobbie Kreidas. Don't let the scary people scare you too much.   If you treat the hobby as a hobby and not an obsession, you'll do fine. It's when it crosses over, which for a lot of us it has, to obession that's when you can worry. That's when you take a break. It's time for a road trip!
