Radios................I have 57 as of right now and 2 more in route................  When I say radios  I collect old vintage vacuum tube radios  and I am a ham radio operator so I have many radios that I can talk on around the world as well.  Also into antique trucks and have many other collections but they are put away right now.

Although I can just wish that I was able to afford a car of any kind, my other hobby (other than talking and reading about cars) is basically computers and the internet (geek, I know).

I'm with Dan on the Photography train.  Looking to take it to the next level.  Never stop learning in Photography, that's for sure.  Just got 3 more SB 900 strobes coming and an entire studio full of Novatron lights and stands and stuff that I got a great deal on ebay....and just now ordered 4 pocket wizard flex tt5 RF triggers. Really like all the techy stuff nowadays.

Woodworker- stopped for no aparrent reason.
Pool Player- Stopped for no apparent reason
Jewelry Making- Stopped after GF 7 years ago went away. Started to have something in common with her. Didn't work, she's a whore.  
Bowler- Stopped for no apparent reason
My cars....well I'm looking to stop that too-for no apparent reason(actually i need to focus more on photography so I need to sell the cars)
See the trend.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wait movies...i'm into movies big time and have a pretty good collection.  Probably won't stop that but I don't buy them anymore, I just use NETFLIX now
and cooking....was going to go to culinary school Art Institute in DC or Pitt but didn't work out.

I also have 2 pinball machines(silverball mania and space invaders) and a tron standup from Bally. Entering the New England Pinball Championship in June.

so apparently my hobby is starting and stopping hobbies.Anyone want their picture taken.. :icon_smile_big:

www.photographearth.com
still a work in progress  cause I shouldn't have to be saavy on the web site stuff right?
right now my domain points to my smugmug page....wish there was an alternative to smugmug that had all the good stuff without the $150 cost a year.

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Since the Charger was considered a MID sized car when it was built, I will have to say that my hobbies are directly centered on my 70 Charger and my stable of A body cars.
In 2008 when I was first out of work, I started playing Grand Theft Auto 4. I hadn't played any video games since I was a kid in the 80s, and I was amazed at how far they have come. The interaction was amazing, the graphics too. Its totally obscene in many ways, the language, the violence.... But I like it.

GPULLER

John Deere farm machinery, tractor pulling, snowmobiles,  have a couple old Vikings that my inlaws bought new that I plan on fixing up for some vintage rides next winter.
Dodge trucks, does that fall into the "full size car" category?

It's a fun game, played it a bunch back in the day but never owned one myself. The "particle accelerator" is a fun gimmick. Burned many hours with ZZ Top playing on the Sony walkman playing pinball in the arcades.  :icon_smile_wink:
