I'm into old cars and old vinyl.

Years ago my ex-girlfriend told my then new girlfriend that the only thing i was interested in were food, cars, sex, and music.

Today, I like tequila along with the above.

I cannot stand to be near guns of any kind, an no moral or sane person would own one.
Unless, of course, they are made by Colt, Glock, Winchester, Remington, Ruger, Springfield, Sig Sauer, or Kimber.
In the extremely rare case of the above exceptions, then carrying and shooting regularly are acceptable…..but just barely.
Aviation, boats, motorcycles (off road for me) are definite interests.
For what it's worth, the common thread amongst 911 owners I continue to see is engineers and architects, with a strong showing from MDs.
I am none of these.

Great comic relief while sitting at the DMV hahahahaha!!

Guns, Porsches, Boats, Vodka, and dark haired light eyed chicks. All I know, all that matters IMHO.

I inherited a few antique long guns from my dad. No pistols. I only shoot target loads in the old shot guns for fear of what modern amo would do to them. I love to go dove hunting with his old double barrel Parker 16. A friend loads shells for my old Winchester 40-82. That thing is a beast to lug around with its octagon barrel. I grew up as an Air Force brat so was around military aircraft from the get go. Always fascinated me. I also have a fascination for trains and spend many hours working at a local museum restoring old cars and locomotives.

I'm winding down in life...
gave up motorcycles for sports cars...
Don't have the $$$ to collect spoons... so boats and airplanes are out of the question.
Have a modest collection of knifes, watches, and guitars so there is that... and Kierkegaard.

[rattlsnak]

i have a few guns but rarely shoot them. (Just have them for when the zombies come.) I do have a few motorcycles and I'm a pilot, so yes, your observation is correct on all points with me.. lol..

I have always been into cars of all types, ran down the 1/4 mile many times, lapped Mid Ohio in a Datsun Z, tore down and rebuilt many motors, had some mighty cool cars. I have a dozen guns and enjoy shooting out in my back field (100 yard range with targets) with friends and family. My son and I both have dirt bikes and enjoy riding the fields and trails around our house.

I really enjoy going to airshows, and hope to hit the Dayton International show again this year, my FIL has his pilots license, and I go up now and then with him. Never had the time or money to pursue my own pilots license, and now my health would probably eliminate that option.

the other thing i am passionate about is gym, if you need to reason with it, collecting muscle.

[fanaudical]

Too many interests to fully list - Let's start with archery, German cars (mostly Audi and Porsche), old trucks, old rifles, old mechanical instruments, bicycles, hiking, camping, woodworking, and just generally building stuff...

[Kool-aid-82]

I embrace most vices... but mechanical usually win out over chemical with me.
As I read through this post it strikes me that that there are no women on PP forums...

[oldE]

I think it 's interesting there are three pages of answers to what may ha e been an implied question.

Until I retire (about 10 years), and have an extra 10 hours a day, I don't seem to find the time to fish, or golf, both of which I would like to do more of.

Did somebody say trains?



Kinda hard to collect them though.

I will go out on a limb and propose we all love mechanical things... seems to be a common thread here... not too surprising that we all (mostly) love cars, motorcycles, mechanical watches, boats, airplanes, etc.
Whereas I can't afford to own a airplane or boat I do love going to air and boat shows... even guns for me (only own three for home defense) I'm fascinated with the way they work.

I started figuring out a list of my hobbies many years ago. I came up with 18 different hobbies way back then and I bet I have added a few since then. I have not built a model airplane in a long while and doubt I will get back into that and some of the other hobbies of my youth.

I have some spoons and I take them out to play on occasion. I have not played a computer game since I quit using my Commodore 64 and got into building and using computers for business.

I work with two pilots and our company has a Cessna 206 work truck. It ain't pretty but it is very solid and does the job it has to do with great reliability. One of the pilots here that sometimes spends 40 hour work weeks in the 206 owns a pristine C-210T and a 1946 Cessna 140 as his personal toys.

As I have gotten older my interests have for sure changed some but not a lot. Cars are a the biggest hobby and a big part of my life.

[vash]

i love cars.

guns; i have but i'm hardly rabid about them. no, i get about as excited about them as say my hammer. no, an axe.

maybe a new CZ .22 rifle will rekindle the fire?

[Sunroof]

Into Porsches the last 40 years. BUT my real love is and has always been sailing.

Onboard my Catalina 30 on Lake Lanier, GA.

Dad built hot rods, Mom was a poet, artist & shooter. I raced motocross & worked for a major airline at LAX so I can check those boxes with gusto.
