The diamond industry people know us men are suckers and they nail us all the time for this crap. It’s a conspiracy I tell ya, a damn conspiracy between our wives/girlfriends and the industry to guilt us into these purchases without a thought. [fake] [fake] [fake]

Yeah, the people that call them toys are the same people who pay to get their oil changed. My car is a part of me. It is the only care I own. It is only a 1992 325i but I am in love with it so I am literally constantly working on it and buying new parts for it, but it looks like new and runs GREAT - so that is my reward. Toys? I don't even think I have any toys - I gave my legos up a few years ago, but I even took them very seriously.
Easy guys - in this thread everyone knows, or should know, "toy" is used figuratively, not literally. I don't think there's a single person on this board that doesn't take their bimmer seriously - that's why we are all here!
Oh, I did forget one other "toy" I have - a Smith & Wesson .357 magnum. Yes, I take that "toy" VERY seriously, but I love to go to the shooting range for target practice.

I remember driving with an attorney when I was younger and he commented how his new 7 was “just a car.” I was like “just a car, what in the hell are you talking about just a car.”
Today I understand this thinking a little better because life has changed so much and actually would say the same of my car. I would even say that yes there is a toy aspect to the car. Realistically, there are far more practical choices I could have made--perhaps something a little bigger—more reasonably priced- so I do consider my car as having some toy value or attributes that influenced my decision to buy it.

We use our home as a custom install showroom, and we have loads of fun with all the "toys".

Holy bajeezers !!!
Well - I love G-Loomis fishing rods.
On the west coast we have decent runs of Salmon & Steelhead - so I am one of the fishing fools out there.
Digital music is fun-
I play with a "phatbox" in my car trunk and a Dell Digital DJ for wherever, often when I am on a good mountain bike excursion.

Interesting replies. Funny how the topic got off on the meaning of "toy." I hope I am never without my toys.
You guys reminded me of a few other things I love that I failed to mention in my original post:
G-loomis rods (they really are the best)
Glock 17
Savage 7mm Rem Mag and all the associated hunting crap that goes with it.
Benchmade Automatics.
I do have one vehicle that I do not consider a toy. My wife's Explorer. Just doesn't do anything for me. Guess that's why it's called a S. Utility V.

Whoops, I misunderstood this thread. I am a big fan of things that are engine-powered. I have my 04 Sea-Doo RXP jetski which stays in Florida. Here we have two quads (my brothers and my dad ride them, so I will not call them my own); an 00 Honda FourTrax Rancher 4x4 and an 01 Yamaha Kodiak 4x4. I enjoy my "riding" time!
