dude why are you telling us all of this? if you think cars are a boring hobby, then go find something that's more fun, more power to you. the differences between 2500$ Volks and 500$ tenzos have been said before...weight, strength, sizing, production quality. so some people really do need the expensive shit to have the most fun at their hobby. when you are at the limit with your car, you want the best shit to keep you safe and in control. if you feel that you are buying expensive parts just to show off, then maybe you are in the wrong mindset. personally, if i had 5000$ in mods in 6 months on my car, i would have a car that i could drive the shit out of in a fun, safe way, and be damn proud of how it performed. if the parts i got made it look cool, then thats a bonus. it looks like you are regretting spending all that money, which maybe means your head wasn't in the right place when you bought it.
look at any hobby, they all have expensive shit that people buy to excell. in your example of mountain climbing for example...you could say "does anybody really need a 500$ North Face jacket" or something along those lines. but when you're in a blizzard on some mountain, i'm pretty sure you'd want to be in the best equipment, not some 30$ Riddell hoody you got from Wal-Mart that won't protect you.
cliffs notes:
people buy expensive shit because they do not want to sacrifice quality for price.
think carefully about why you are buying a part before you buy it to decide if you really want/need it.
theres cheap shit and expensive shit in every hobby.
if you feel that cars are boring you, find something else. simple.
