One could argue that once one's basic needs are met, everything else is frivolous.
Which means pretty much everything I buy non-basic is frivolous. 19 guitars, 11 firearms, 40 pocket knives, 6 laptop computers, 2 cars...
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I totally forgot. It changes color easily as well. Just pick a color and go.
I bought motion activated LED Lights (illumibowl) that go in the toilet bowl and make it glow. Best 5 dollars I've ever spent on something i don't need.

You should get the LED shower head to go with it.

Of the 5 4WD Jeeps I have owned this one was way off the reservation; unable to tow anything, off road driving voids factory warranty, runs on premium only, 20" fancy wheels w/very low profile tires, and 10-13 MPG tops!
But F.U.N. from a stop light! It was the winner of the stop light Grand Prix 95% of the time. The fun stopped when premium hit $4/gal. and the 13 MPG only happened on a level freeway, in cruise control @ 55 MPH. It had to go. So after 17 months and 7,349 miles I re-homed it to a buyer in Las Vegas. Later I found out it made it to London!.
ditch the Gloomis and get an edge rod you will thank me later, noting comes close and I had 12 g loomis rods all replace with edge.

As referenced by rockchalk06 it's the logo for G Loomis fishing gear.
I just liked the graphic for the 'monster' Jeep.
I do too, it's very nice.

First thing I bought on Ebay about 25 years ago was a six foot wooden Indian holding cigars. Forgot exactly what it cost but it was over $1000.00. The best dust catcher I own.

I used to have about 20 different skateboards/longboards, each a different size and setup.
But I gifted and sold a bunch and now I'm down to a more sensible few (6).
And it's best we not get into Guitar Pedals... or my designer Chair fetish.

The only problem I see is that you didn't include LED flashlights and Hobby Lobby 50% off clocks.

Too late now, now they are racist caricatures and have no place in the 21st century. Should have gotten yours 25 years ago.

I suppose this qualifies. $10,300 for this Bob-Cat Predator Pro 37hp fuel injected zero turn to mow 5 acres. I could have gotten by with a used mower but this is what I wanted for my 62nd birthday. I'm 67 now and the mower is going strong with about 250 hours.

A cabin in Colorado.
It burned down.
Didn't have to go there every year and do nothing but work on it while there.
Will never buy a lake house, beach house or cabin in Colorado again.

I pair of Kittanica pants. Outrageous at $169.00. Never wore them.
