My other hobby, a 2016 Yamaha R1 and a 2018 Ducati Scrambler sport 1100. The Yam for canyons and occasional track days, and the Duc for riding in traffic or around town

RC helicopters and quadcopters as well as music production and games consoles retro to todays - too much stuff to play with or too little time to actually play


Oh, groan....I got into "Vintage PC Gaming" a few years ago. Had a couple of AMD K6-III/500MHz rigs I built from spare and left over parts, and had a ball playing early and later games from the 90's. "Grim Fandango" and the "Descent" series were my favorites, along with Doom and Quake, of course!
 
i’ve always been a fan of the Nissan SR FWD platform, i’ve owned numerous older style SE-R’s and strapped turbos to them, as well as the sister car infiniti g20’s. i’ve recently sold away my SE-R’s and only have my Crimson Blaze 1999 infinit g20, it’s rare for color/interior combo.

then there’s the new coyote powered mustang GT’s ? so responsive to mods, and rev happy.

@arrmadillo

Yes, very nice Nova. Reminds me of my "GM Days" when I had my 1973 Trans Am. I've also owned a '67 Corvette coupe, a '69 T-Top Corvette, a '72 El Camino SS, and assorted other American Iron.
Thanks, Nice list of rides you had there. I also had many early muscle cars thru the years, the problem was holding onto them all lol.
@arrmadillo Nice Nova. i got an 69 ElCamino 396 SS - its very practical cause you can dump a half ton of money in the bed easily lol Besides vespa scooters, BMW motorcycle and Nerd stuff ( mainly star wars and MOTU) gg
Thanks, I love those years with the dual headlights, best looking hands down. Wanted one forever but never happened for me. 396 was a good engine, I had one in my 69 Camaro that I lost in a hurricane, actually lost two 69 Camaros sitting on jack stands in my garage, had water to the headliners for weeks. Cars were trashed ?but still have the 396 sitting on motor stand.

Nice! My first "new" car was a 93 Sentra SE-R. I'll always miss the B13.. first car I ever put NOS on. The engine was pretty bulletproof.

as far as my hobbies.. love guns but also got into leather / kydex a while back which was pretty fun.

I feel like such a piker.

I play guitar. I used to have almost a dozen guitars (my wife always asked, "How many guitars do you need?" the answer is always "Just one more..." I am down to three, a Tom Anderson drop top, a Takamine student grade classical guitar, and a mid 90's vintage Taylor 814C steel string acoustic.

I used to ride/race motorcycles (offroad) but in my early 40's my reflexes turned to crap, so I gave that hoppy up.

I also have done quite a bit of competitive shooting (pistols and high powered rifles), but I have pretty much gotten out of that hobby. Just have a few pistols and some 22 rifles left in my safe.

I have some good camera gear, but I would hesitate to say that I am a photographer...

Now I drive RC cars, and will be adding to my stable again soon.
 
I’m Mr Hobby.
I'm 52 now and my current and past hobbies are video games on everything you can play them on, which I’ve been into since the 70s. Lately VR is the new favorite.
Drones and planes, collecting action figures and film and tv props, building Crow and Servo from MST3K, building models, building and lighting large Lego sets, firearms, building computers, building elaborate miniature houses, buying and restoring old arcade machines and pinball machines, playing music on guitar, bass, keys, and drums, following politics, reading, studying history, plumbing, wiring, electronics building and repair, souping up cars and trucks, and so on and so forth. I have a very low boredom threshold.
A lot of former hobbies have been abandoned due to being in a wheelchair now and hand tremor issues. Enjoy them while you can guys and gals. You gonna get old, broken down, and die.
