I've never tried crack but there's no way it's as good as flying.

If you go for it I'd recommend at least getting your training in a steam gauge plane. It makes a lot of the stuff a bit easier to understand down the road. I know an engineer who did his PPL in a G1000 172S and you can tell he just doesn't fully get it. I did mine in a pretty much runout 172N with 1977 avionics.

Also, before starting get all the books and stuff and read them all. FAR AIM might be a little much but the Jeppesen book for sure. Money you don't spend on having your instructor answer dumb questions is money you can fly with (it took me a while to figure that out).
