Glider purchases can be rational?



I think they are as rational as purchases of expensive SUV's for driving
around town. Plus they hold their value better, and require less
maintenance. And certainly more fun. Not as good at impressing the
neighbors, though.


Bingo! A pet peeve of mine. Though, as a motorglider owner who bought
the last time the dollar was weakish, I've probably lost an SUV in value
over the last 9 years, and it certainly has taken more maintenance. But
surely, a LOT more fun! And my wife goes along with the claim I bought
it because I love her, 'cause when I get hit by a bus and expire, she
can sell the glider and live extravagantly with the pool guy (and idea
she got from Pez), something she couldn't do if I bought a cheap glider,
whose sale would leave her destitute (I said she goes along with it, I
didn't say she believes it).
