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

I used to do the slot car thing. There was a local track with lots of different style tracks. We used to run "wing cars" and even dragsters and funny cars.
It got silly expensive. Sadly, our track closed.

I'm slowly getting back into it, but it's still expensive. Mainly because my kids are getting to the age where we can do some things togethor. I'm just tired of superman and pooh bear.

How about RC Cars? I was really big into those!!! I had a couple. I was so into that my dad started a company that built timing systems and autocross timing systems for RC Cars, now his company is more into the normal cars and out of RC, but it was a huge hobby for me

I was into the Accociated RC10 for a few years. That got real expensive quick. I had 3K into one car. Had a total of 3 cars and they all got stolen. That ended that.
