Re: Other hobbies??
With a wife, 4 kids, full time job, not much time for other things, but when I do get time I like to race circle track. Much of my influence comes from years of building stock cars. I would really like to set my truck up like a nascar roadrace chassis.......(if it weren't for dreams, what would we have..lol) Anyway, here's a pic of me getting ready to qualify.

Re: Other hobbies??
I like to garden and landscape. I really enjoy working with stone. Pictures are from one of my projects last summer.

Re: Other hobbies??
I build hotrods, mess with musclecars and 4x4's, do custom painting (mostly flames), pinstripe, draw, ride dirtbikes/quads among other BAD habits....

Re: Other hobbies??
Besides the truck thing, I'm a long distance runner, and actually, the running eats up more time that the truck building. But, here in Vancouver we're lucky because we can run pretty much every day of the year. I also like hiking with my wife.
I either need to win the lottery or I need a second life to explore all my interests....

Re: Other hobbies??
I build hot rods, and Kustom cars. I really enjoy putting motors onto things that didn't have one to start with. My favorite being the '80"s scooter with a 50cc snowblower motor and a wheelie bar. I skateboard, pinstripe, and listen to old music.

Re: Other hobbies??
Besides restoration full time....I enjoy it as a hobby on my own vehicles, and my wife and I buy, sell, trade, and collect Coca-Cola Memorabilia. Currently it could be labeled an obsession with over 2100 pieces in our private collection. This does not includes duplicates which we sell and trade. Jerry

Re: Other hobbies??
I build and race 1/10 scale nitro monster trucks and build 1/14 scale semi trucks. Also build 50's style hot rods and customs, not ratrods! ratrod are unsafe and scabby. Teaching my 3 year old boy the fine art of building cool stuff with fire.

Re: Other hobbies??
If i'm not wrenching at work or playing with my 4-5-6 trucks, I like to ride quads, elk hunt with my kid, and watch high school football here in Arizona.

Re: Other hobbies??
Normally, it would be participating in events with the local Volvo enthusiasts club (yes I'm weird... I make Swedish cars go very fast). For me right now though my "hobby" is finishing the basement, which I started in April. 1900sf of clean slate for me to go hog wild. I'm working on the electrical right now, hopefully have drywall up in Sept. My two daughters will get their own rooms (24x13ft), monster bathroom for the princesses, a TV room, game room, a 19x11 home theater (108" screen!) a workshop and storage.
Random photos... One of the bedrooms  Hat-channel on wall between girls' rooms... plus reinforced door frames, for when they're teens. Planning is everything folks.  Front wall (screen wall) of theater. 170sheets of drywall, ugh)  Local wildlife... they keep avoiding my traps  After a day of installing hat-channel in the theater. No more, please!!

Re: Other hobbies??
Full time student at Gonzaga in my junior year this upcoming semester. Also working very slowly on doing up my daily driven bmw. Got a motor swap already in it and stuff like that. Got a girlfriend who takes up a ton of my time and I also ride bmx when time allows. Oh yeah, and I like to build rc cars...
