Depends on the type of flying you do. For just boring holes in the sky and
$100 hamburgers, you're correct. On the other hand, if you actually use a
plane for going places, renting is not very practical.

Maintenance is probably the biggest cost issue for me. I could reduce
that by doing more of my own work (I know several IAs that would sign off my
work), but I just don't have the time. When I'm not working, I'd rather
spend my limited free time flying.

Not sure what "excessive liability" means. My airplane insurance has
always cost less than my car insurance (for triple the coverage).
