A question to all Pelicans

I have observed that people who are interested in cars also have interests in one or all of the following: guns and fire arms, aviation, and motorcycles.

I am speaking to those of us who spend a great deal of time money and energy on our car hobby. Also Many of us are employed in aviation or were at one time.

I would appreciate any feed back from fellow pelicans

I dig cars but have little interest in guns or motorcycles. Not really into aviation, either.

Hold your breath and a spoon thread will pop up there.

Must have to do with mechanical stuff.

Stereo equipment and guitars as well.

Smith and Wesson, Piper Cherokee, Harley Davidson, Gibson ... Can't afford hookers, and blow. Gotta settle for wife and beer.

After 22 years in two separate Armies, I have had enough of guns, and don't get the US gun fetish...

But, I also love to fly, and used to ride until my back broke.

Don't drink due to prescription drug habit...

Well, if you bottom slice the extremists, a pretty interesting hobby.

I have three rifles but am not a gun nut. I just run across them, think they are cool (two of them), at least at that moment, and buy them. None for protection.

Squillions in America like me. Dad died so I got his gun. I want to kill that farking groundhog. I hear of break-in's, I am going to get a pistol cause my neighbor convinced me. Whatever the reason.

If there is anything to get it's the news media pumping fear into the population to better sell air time. We excel at that.

Our firearms laws in Australia make gun owning too difficult, not really into aviation or bikes. I think a lot of car guys are probably into watches?

I have no interest in owning guns but have been to the range to reek havoc many times. I have a 1988 Yamaha FZ600 I ride in the summer for fun (have had a bike most of my adult life). Also raced spec 125 karts for a few years until I couldn't keep it in my schedule anymore.
I think people who like "cool stuff" are drawn to older Porsches for their air cooled uniqueness and styling.

Porsche's, other cars, motorcycles (BMW mostly), watches (mechanical duh), and cement factories are my thing. I would be into airplanes and 'copters, but I have neither the time nor the money. I despise boats, other guys can't seem to get enough of that ****. Guns..... let's just say I'm Canadian.

Hookers and blow... that would trump it all but not for very long now would it?

Sold all my bikes but still dream of them. Plenty guns. No planes. Sailboat. Stereo. Won't pay for hookers but I'll look, no blow ever.

I did a Pelican forum search for hookers and blow and this thread came up... But I still didn't find... Forget it.
