What else are you guys into??

I love my family. Material things really don't matter in comparison. I'm extremely fortunate to have the family that I do and sometimes I feel bad that I can't give them everything I want to but there's always a hug and kiss.
But besides family, what are your interests?
I love cars. Sure, I like trucks and streetbikes and stuff but cars are my #1. I like ALL cars, import and domestic, newer and older. I have a special place for the old cars. It brings me back to a simpler time when you could work on your car without computers and specialty tools. You had to have a brain to figure out how to make it faster, not just plug it into a computer. If something was broke you could go to the junkyard and get another one without having to reprogram this or that. All the cars looked different. Yes, there were a couple similar ones like the Chevelle and a cutlass fastback but you could still tell the difference. I love cars!
I am also into streetbikes, quads/dirtbikes, flying (yes, airplanes. Used to go flying with a buddy of mine while I was in the military. He would take off and then hand it over to me. I did everything until it was time to land then I'd hand it back). I enjoyed that so much that I bought an ultralight (pics in gallery) but I haven't flown it yet.
I also enjoy running heavy equipment. My little Kubota is fun (backhoe/loader that I threw together) but the bigger machines are more fun.
These are my top few things that I enjoy, what about you?

Anything vintage really....

Guitar and tube amps and old electronics.

WWII history. Planes, Steam engines, ships and the stories that are told about them and their crews. Old movies etc.

Gardening.

I used to enjoy RC vehicles, but frankly, they are money pits.

Now get off my lawn!

I love RC cars, but for some reason just never got involved in them but they're fun.
Ships and war stuff/history huh?
That makes me think of the Philadelphia Experiment. That truly fascinates me!!!

Family, Church and Oldsmobiles are it for me these days. I am retired from ATV motocross and freestyle but that is what gives me the most thrills. I had to walk away from it and it was the hardest thing I ever did. I just wish I was as good at building Oldsmobiles as I was MX bikes.

After I get my W-30 done I am considering building a couple more MX bikes for someone that wants them for the 2017 race season. I just have to control myself and not take them for test rides.

Cars.


Gotten into motorcycles the last couple years, after a fire I lost a Harley so I went out and bought a street bike. Only had that a couple of weeks. Haven't taken the olds out of the garage since I bought the bike...

And guns. I've gotten into guns over the past year. Massachusetts has some really stupid gun laws, so my options are very limited. The thrill with guns is definitely in the hunt.

Besides driving around I like video gaming. When I was younger I had such an awful gaming habit, I easily spent far more time on that than anything else in middle school and high school. At this point I'm not into it as much anymore, mostly because the only games my computer can handle are ~15 years old (often much older) and I've played them sssoooooo many times over the years it's finally starting to wear on me. Instead I can feed my gaming habit by proxy with Youtube Let's Plays and various videos about games in general. Still I don't spend as much time on that as before, not even close.

I'm big into tube audio gear both vintage and newer, RC model ships. I tinker a lot and like things that are vintage or antique. I just bought a house so now much of my time is spent renovating the dump.

In no particular order: long road trips, vintage audio, used dogs (we have two elderly rescued Golden Retrievers these days), 70s-era Japanese crotch rockets (motorcycles), most post-war music (jazz/pop/rock), workouts, most post-war automobiles, volunteerism ... etc.

Things with engines and wheels is my hobby. Have a few cars now. Also I love going to the race track and driving my go-kart. Not the kind most think of. Mine is a 50 H.P. 6speed shifter kart . Tops out at over 100 MPH. If you want a thrill next best thing to a F-1 car. I have also raced with a few pro drivers in my days. Schumacher, Piquet jr, Weldon, McMurray. Just finished a race yesterday with Michael Valiante. He's the current Rolex sports car series point leader. I beat him too!! His flat tire did have something to do with it.
