If you get into Guitars we call it GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome).

Some ladies even have fashion accessories, you can color match your guns and purses for every occasion. Try it before you knock it. ;)

Synthesizer and other electronic music enthusiasts also have GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

Vinyl also used to be called "black crack" :)

I just need to get one more patchbay until it's perfect. Maybe a different mixer, or maybe just a new ADAT converter for the one I already have.

But then that's it, no more.

Same time next week, then?

GAS may have come from guitars (I don't know really) but is now commonly referred for any hobby as Gear Acquisition Syndrome

I don't know where it started either, maybe originally it was Gun Acquisition Syndrome, ha.

But I'd like to believe it all started right here:

N+1 is the number of <things> you need.

Bikes, snowboards, surfboards, guitars, etc

Spouses come and go. A limited edition PRS is forever. Besides it is probably going to end up a collectible and increase in value. Can't afford not to buy it really.

Without another adult in the household, how can I reasonably justify needing a 2-car garage to store all my bikes?

That's easy. You watch a few FortNite videos on YouTube and slowly but surely end up with a small motorcycle collection.

You're going to want to work on your own bikes and eventually fabricate your ow-- basically, you need the space for your $250,000 CNC machine anyhow, so..
