I was devo (devastated) when it broke. My parents didn't have a lot of money so I didn't get a new one; still, I had it for a good while, went through a few engines (rubber bands) and loved it while I had it.
And yeah, hobbies blow out of proportion and I've had many. I will try not to let that happen but...if I end up with a full size F35, well...not my fault. 🤔
