What are your other hobbies / interest?
 
We have done occupations, what do you call your car, and a few others. Lets try this one.

Other hobbies:

I do mechanic work at home, mostly 4 wheelers, lots of porting banshee cylinders. Repairing T-5s is becomming common. I will say it is a hobbie because I enjoy it, and it funds my other hobbies. Which are hunting, riding 4 wheelers, camping, astronomy. And soon to be fishing again. I also enjoy flirting with, and looking at looking at the girls, but that gets me in trouble momma.

I race (oval track). We run Mansfield and Lorain in Ohio. That takes up about all my "free"
time. Won't be running much this year, will be taking care of my newborn son.

I like doing improvements around the house. I've completely gutted one room and am in the process of adding insulation (it's a really old house), upgrading the wiring and flooring so I can have a home office and chill out room with my TV, stereo, and computer.

I also enjoy travel, hiking, and camping. California was great for this. Last year I went up to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. I've also been up Mount Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado.

SlowMopar 01-30-2003 11:04 AM

My biggest one is riding. I enjoy challenging roads like Deals Gap. I also enjoy working on my cars and bikes, reading and on-line gaming (Diablo 2).

tireburner163 01-30-2003 11:08 AM

I crusie MW, play a little PS2, and build model cars.

Also my hobby right now is fixing a 91 GT vert.

Lately, most of my time has been devoted to working because I am doing a lot with Mustang Works, Web Site development projects, servers, etc... So, I haven't done much else in the past month. However, the things I like to do most are:
  • Hang out and do things with friends and family
  • Eat out :p
  • See movies (theater or DVD at home)
  • Enjoy my vehicles by driving and racing them (not wrenching on them these days though! :rolleyes: )
  • Swim in my pool, BBQ on my grill, and do outside stuff in the summer
  • 3D PC Gaming
  • Bike ride
  • Roller skate
  • Bowling
  • Travel
  • Sky Dive (yes, I jump from planes at 13,000 ft!)
  • Misc other things...

Are they broke?

My view on that: If at least one to the engines are still going then my happy lil butt is staying where I am! Heights don't bother me but I have a trust issue and I don't trust anyone enough to pack a chute for me.

NotchJohnson 01-30-2003 04:07 PM

My hobbies are almost identical to 88workcars. I mostly fish and dive but also like to hunt and ride 4-wheelers even though Ive never owned one. I also like working on and rebuilding boats, and am in the process of re-doing a smashed up 21 foot paramount.

chuck88 01-30-2003 07:16 PM

Dont knock it until you try it. Sky diving is the absolute most intense adrenaline rush you will ever experience in your life, second to none.

Everybody should do it at least once before you die!

bigbandjohn 02-03-2003 09:51 PM

well, I'm a computer professional by trade, and I love Music (both playing and listening), especially... ummm... check my name :-)

I use to DJ swing dances, and was a pretty good dancer a year or 2 back. bit out of practice right now. And, I am into "International" video - owning over 100 DVD's and VHS tapes from the UK and Australia, as well as some other countries. Mainly love the comedy stuff, but there are other interests there as well. I'm building a high-end Home Theater system.

And, last but far from least... MUSTANGS!!!!!

I spend 10 hours a day driving a big slow Mack Truck, so when I get home I love nothing more than
going out for a drive in the Mustang, or a ride on my Indian Motorcycle, which ever I'm in the mood for. My hobbies are working on my car and motorcyle. I also love camping and fishing, since there are so many big wide open spaces up here in Canada

lx5091 02-24-2003 10:03 AM

Cool thread....

nice to hear what interests everyone. I'm an IT with A+ Network+ certification, finishing up school now to get my MCSE 2000--this is intense stuff but I have an excellent instructor who is a consultant and is teaching me all the stuff that the MCSE's out there in the field get stumped with, so hopefully by the time I'm doing it Professionally I'll be pretty good!

-I love listening to modern rock....
-tinkering with the 'stang
-Offroading my 4x4
-building crazy high quality/ultra inexpensive computer setups for me/friends/family
-messing around online
-Oh yeah and entertaining the wife--we go to Dave and Busters often and see lots of movies in the winter and do all kinds of local fun stuff in the summer

That's about it! Any suggestions? He He

scott93gt 02-25-2003 08:29 AM

Through the summer, my wife and I attend several car shows and car cruises with the Greater Pittsburgh Mustang Club.
Year round, we support a group that rescues and finds loving homes for Retired Racing Greyhounds. Greyhounds are probably the gentlest, most loving and loyal dogs I have ever known. It is very rewarding when we place a Greyhound into a home.
We also enjoy NASCAR, attending at least one race a season.
Finally, I don't know if it is a hobby or not, but we are constantly updating the house. Our latest project involved gutting and remodling one of the bathrooms. Since we added the Jaccuzi tub, it is now one of our favorite rooms. Next up, a game room in the basement.

Hmm, most of my time lately has been consumed with work. But I have many things I love to do as well... I think I'm more of a hermit in the winter months, because I'll freeze! haha :p (I really need to move to a warm state). All my hobbies are summer hobbies... I love playing on my bike (gixxer), going to shows, my car, going to the beach, going camping, tennis, softball, bowling, going to dinner with friends, seeing plays (theater), swimming :p, and of course shopping <<< (ya'll can feel sorry for my future husband haha I have a shoe fetish, I have over 200 pairs of shoes) :p ... so those are some of the ways I spend my time :)

I love Greyhounds!!!! I sure miss mine. We had her for 12 years. Now, I work a lot of hours and I don't have the space for one. I can't wait until I have a house again. First thing I will be doing is adopting a Greyhound. :)

My other hobbies are: Auto-x (this is a new one to me and I love it), drag racing, detailing my car, hanging out with my friends, going to the local car hangouts, spending time with the man I love ;), spending time with the family, and soon I will be enjoying the art of co-piloting for the BF.
