Are you more proud of your car or computer?

I take pride in my truck after putting a lot of time into washing, waxing, and otherwise cleaning it. The computer, not so much. Yeah I spent a lot of money on it but it wasn't difficult, time consuming, or really anything to take pride in.
 
Where is Tractor on your list? (photo is exactly like my tractor except mine has no headlights and a grey grill). I'm proud because it is definetely the most unique thing I own, and its awesome to use.

Of the two options right now I'd go with computer because I just got a GeForce 7800GT, but if/when I inherit my dads '66 mustang convertible that'll change. 😀

😀 That actually looks a lot like our old Olivers. But then again, I guess that all of the tractors of that age looked alike.

As for me... I love my car & my computers, but neither of them are a particularly prized possession. They're both better than what a lot of people have (and worse than what a lot of people have)... I'm just thankful that they both work well 🙂

1999 Buick Regal GS
vs
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1 GB DDR 400, 780 GB (including the external drives attached to it)
 
like both...🙂

2005 TL

X2 3800+/128 MB 6800 PCI-E/1 GB PC3200/3 x 300 GB SATA Maxtor/Soundblaster Audigy/8x NEC DL DVD burner/16x Liteon DVD ROM/Antec 500 W PS
 
I wouldn't really say proud- I don't really buy things to show off.

But I can say I like my car more than my computer... '04 Honda Pilot EX-L - paid off
 
I like my car. My computer needs some work/upgrades but it's not bad. But I wouldn't use the word pride to describe my relationship with either.
 
My computer far outclasses my car, but I don't know that I'd go so far as to say I'm proud of it. 1989 Cavalier vs. a 2.4 P4 w/512MB RAM and a R9700. They both get the job done and aren't anything super terribly special.

Yep, those old fords are nice, my dad has two of them. There's one for sale down the road from me that I should go look at - but it's just not in the budget right now.

I haven't upgraded my computer since I got my car. My PC is an Athlon 2000+ with 256mb ram and a 40gb hard drive. Ti4400 video card and a 4x DVD-R/W. I use my work laptop more than the desktop anymore.

I'm modding my car instead of my PC. I'm hoping for 330whp and a high 12-second 1/4 mile pass with street tires and pump gas. 🙂
 
Car 02 Pontiac Grand Am - Hate this POS car. Soley for driving.
My computer on the other hand looks pretty good and I built it myself. Not "ricey" like those pre-modded cheapo cases.
