I'll let others spend thier loot, and watch from a distance.
Take the money I would have spent and buy something RC releated.

Drove to PA from NJ to get fireworks this year. Now, I just have to light them off without the cops finding out... Yup, they're illegal in NJ

Vegas is no fun.........I spent $40 bucks and got crap. Its too hot/dry/illegal for them out here.

I miss ole Shreveport LA.....for $40 I got like 2 grocery bags full of the "good" stuff.

And I got kids and know the real reasons to celebrate the 4th so I spend a little every year to celebrate my familys and mine freedom!

I'm with Sleep. No need to spend money on them. I'd rather buy a prop or something for my plane.

MAN... $200.. That is a 4.5" TT spinner and a prop!!

I'd dedicate the spinner and prop to the Good Ol USA, and honor it every time I flew!!

MAN $200 clams up in smoke!

Oh well.. some guys got it like that I guess!

The only money I spent on fireworks this year is what I put in for the fireworks at the Huckfest.

I'm like Sleepy, What I would have spent on fireworks is going to be going into the hobby. I have a few projects in the works and a couple more planned.
