Dont know if you would call it a hobby, but more of a passion/way of life, but traveling all over hunting. I will go anywhere, anytime to hunt anything. I have had to weigh out some decisions on whether to spend money on the car, or go somewhere I have never been to hunt. The car wins most of the time, except when it comes to Turkey hunting and then that recieves all the money and time. I hope this doesnt offend any non-hunters.

hob·by 1 (hb)
n. pl. hob·bies
An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.

What ever it takes to free your mind, I did the hunting thing for about ten years then switched to Deep Sea Fishing. I gave up the Fishing to stick to building the cars, but from time to time I need to walk away from the cars.

My other hobbies are sports, played football until needed surgery on my knee, and parents decided against me trying to pursue. The gym, I don't know if it is more of a hobby or an addiction.... <--- I go there when I have troubles with the car and can't figure out what wrong......

And I have a 18 month old son who is what I am working so hard for, I don't think he qualifies as a "hobby" though

Default other hobbies

bigtyme1, I've got a 1965/ 150 ft. 8 lane commercial grade Blue King Highbank Road course with new surface stored in a building one foot too narrow to set it up. The building is longer ,but need to knock a wall down. Track has 25x50 footprint . Me and My kid used to race on it 10 yrs. ago when it was set up in a local mall. Just another project to get at. Want it ? Cetchup

cetchup that's a pretty sweet Camaro you got there.

Other hobbies I have (too many)

1) Fishing - try to ANY free moment I have
2) Ice hockey - I play in a local beer league
3) Snowmobiling & Sea-Dooing

I used to build alot of models as a kid and was even into R/C cars heavily twice in my life. Once as a kid I had all sorts of different cars from Kyosho Ultima, Schumacher Pro-Cat & Cougar II, Tamiya Nissan King Cab and then again about 5-6 years ago I had a Traxxas T-Max and still have a Thunder Tiger EK4 (haven't run for 2-3 years) and a pro-Boat Miss Bud Hydroplane (which is still new in the box)
