Mac,
Totally get it.. lemme give you my last season's sob story. I plan to make a thread but here's the gist...
Went to KOH in February and just brought my 2014 RZR as I didn't have a 2nd person to drive my Suburban and tow the new one on the flatbed and also had a Shock Therapy appointment that took 4 months to get for the new one in Glamis the following week and didn't want to risk breaking something and missing the appointment/trip.
Well out at KOH driving with a buddy shotgun about 15+ miles from Hammertown near the bombing range, darn car just stalls. We wave off 1 of only 2 people who drove by and got out. Next I see ALL of the oil on the ground and all over the pan. Turns out at some point I'd put a crack in the bottom of the engine case (which you couldn't see with the skid plate), all the oil ran out and the 2014 motor was toast. Luckily a guy in a small Jeep Liberty 4x4,.. I think rolled by. He lived 20 miles in the opposite direction of Hammertown, but $500 cash and he towed us back to camp. We saw NO ONE else. Was happy to pay it, dude saved me. That machine, I decide to upgrade the rebuilt motor to a 1110cc. I didn't take it to the dealer and opted to use my local (vehicle) mechanic. That was over 3 months ago that we got back the motor. Now he is doing other things like making stronger skid plates, Hammertight (or likewise product) on the boxed arms and a few other knick knacks, .. also had a nightmare trying to get the proper upgraded fuel controller. The motor is in, but not sure if it's dialed in yet, it's still at the DAMN shop. Driving me nuts and I'm close to pulling it. Fortunately since I 'hit a rock' it was an insurance claim (got $8300 from insurance) and so most of it will be covered financially.
Next week I take my '19 Turbo S to Glamis and 'side flop' it on the last dune run. Took 1/2 hour to get help to right it and as soon as I turned on the motor and drove 30 feet, the temps soared to 277 degrees, quick limp mode, then it shut itself off. Anyhow, being almost upside-down for 30 minutes cooked that motor. Fortunately, the extended warranty (2 months into it as the 1 year factory warranty was expired) covered it. Dealer did a GREAT job and I wasn't out a penny (saw the bill to the warranty $7400) and I just got done breaking it in a couple of weeks ago, she's ready to rock.
Anyhow, so by the end of February, I had 2 Razors, both with blown motors, within 1 week,.. 1 trip of each other. I definitely thought about pulling the plug. .. and for me it isn't about the money, it's the amount of time I devote to keeping the 2 machines, TH and tow vehicles going. I'll be 50 in March 2022 and sometimes I think, sell it all and just vacation on the beach.
That being said, I really don't have any other hobbies.. can't ski,.. can't surf.. whatever. Also, I can't sell RZR's with blown motors, so I should at least enjoy a season before I decide to pull the plug.
Wow .. that was a lot of typing. Anyhow, I feel ya. Been going to Glamis off n' on for almost 40 years. I doubt I'll ever throw in the towel, but I think about it from time to time.
OK, that's my sob story for last season.
Be well.

PS. Also I had before the season dumped at least $10k into the '19 and $3/4k into the '14. The '19 I did the whole shebang, cage, whips, doors, lights, parker pumper, race radios, Shock Therapy, etc. etc. Also did parker pumper and race radios for the '14 among other maintenance items.
oke:
