Is this a great hobby or what?

Just thinking this afternoon how much I enjoy the car hobby.  You can work on the car in the garage for a quick fix most anytime, you can take it for a drive by yourself to really get away from it all, you can cruise with friends when you want to socialize, you can hang with friends without the cars at all and just bench race, you can go to shows, you can park downtown and draw admirers by yourself, you make friends all over the place, you can compete in shows or motorsports, and even after a lifetime in the hobby I still learn something new about these cars all the time.
I've had and have other interests but this one remains my favorite.  Enjoy your weekend and find time for your musclecar.

I don't have many other things that interest me.   It's a lifestyle.

How can you not love a guy in a bejewled turban with a scimitar?

Well, as long as he's not pointing it at me.

I think he just likes to wave it around a lot without causing any real harm.

I agree its a great hobby, What sucks is the season in Canada is so short. I will probably take my last drive tomorrow and then stare at it for  6 months. :rotz: As of late, i have shown interest in restoring old gas pumps and collecting gas memorabilia.
