Not for me. 5 grand would cover a couple clutches and multiple sets of tires for the track. But i wont by a $2 coffee at starbucks, i will however spend a few thousand on a nice rifle. We all have our interests i suppose.

Engine Build
For some it is, for others it's not. Some people are willing to pay $3,000 for an A8 or $5,000 to move from 2LZ to 3LZ. How about $4,000 for exposed CF ground effects? My brother won't pay 4 bucks for a cup of coffee at Starbucks but he gladly paid 5 grand for this experience. Everybody has their own idea of what is worthwhile - to them.
If you'd like to see how your engine is assembled, meet employees and upper management at the factory and get "inside information", get a personal tour of the factory and learn things about the car you're buying that you won't learn anywhere else (and you have 5 grand laying around), it's worthwhile. You could also split the cost with a buddy which makes it more affordable.
Being able to do this with my brother who just went through cancer treatment was priceless.

I did the Museum experience back last year and have not stopped smiling since. Your right when you say that we all have some level of acceptance of what is or not important to us and what we'd pay to do it. I can ride my Harley any time and I can shoot my expensive shotgun at clay targets any time as well, but I can't spend the time with either my brother or my father because there gone now and would gladly pay anything to do anything they wanted with either one of them. Good for you to have done that with him.
