So sure building muscle cars and hot rods is a passion of mine, but I have a few, I enjoy...

high end home audio systems, I have 8 separate 2 channel stereo systems in my home, lol, its a sickness, that isnt counting my 5.2 2800 watt (real watts) surround sound system.

Everything about guns, I collect 1911's, I have at least one from all the big names, bill wilson, Les baer, Dan wesson, cabot, Ed Brown, etc, I have 21 1911's in total, another sickness, I also reload my own ammo...

Motorcycles, I have built a few custom choppers, but as of right now my project is a victory hard ball (raked, 23" front, bought it brand new to rip it all apart), I drive it while I work on it, in no way a show bike, but it seems the shows are over, I also have a 400+ hp turbo hayabusa I built when it was brand new...

Off roading a bit, mostly with the side by sides since I was introduced to them, they are a lot of fun, but we pull them with a Rubicon (kind of a mopar)...

Whiskey, I collect whiskies, I have some pretty cool bottles, I also like to drink it, actually going to a tasting tonight in Ma..

Making Bread, yes, cars, guns, and bread, lol I have a comercial mixer in my kitchen and I enjoy making bread, I am pretty good at, won some competitions next to high end bakeries...

cool bottle of never opened labelled prohibition white horse, some day I'll pop it open and see if we don't go blind, lol... Whiskey doesnt age in glass only in wood, BUT I would like to taste what they tasted way back then...

The only other one I am forgetting is the lake, but not really a hobby, we have a lake house about 5 minutes from out full time home, we blast around on the wake boat and pontoon, now that the kids are teenagers we are definitely using it all the time...

So what are you guys into, I am sure we have more in common that just mopars :)
 
Like all! 1911's are very nice , have a couple of Sig Sour 45's love them but need to get atlesst one 1911. Like the 4 door jeeps ! Wish they would put a hemi in them . Oh im hungry now.
 
Just Vodka. And Road Trips. USA. Enjoy the rides before the "kids sell them and the USA while we still have it.
 
I like to collect and photograph coins. Old coins.

Looks great! I got a gun collection too. Pistols & rifles. I like to bow/gun hunt ( have a cabin & hunting camp). I also love spending time with family.
 
Nice 1911s those are my fave pistol, I have a couple target rifles also. I like most motorcycles and I have 2 harleys (I like the uncommon ones) I have a vrod and a mt500 enduro. I just sold my jeep tj (sacrifices must be made for the 68 charger) but I will get another jeep one day and I like cooking
 
I like fishing, guns, and also have been coaching my daughters fast pitch softball teams for 10 years. They play at the highest level in Florida. My 14 year old is now playing with the 16 year olds, at college exposure tournaments. I took the past two years off to build my 66 charger, was time to do something for myself.
AR15 short barrel rifle with silencer, GLOCK 17 M&P 17 shot.
Just need a shotgun!

I collect movie memorabilia. I have a room full of posters and theater displays. Riding dirt bikes and four wheeling. Lots of guns. It' no secret I was into Corvettes big time. I have a room full of important Corvette artifacts. Working on my Mopar collection now. I have about 150 1/18th scale die-cast cars. Too many Hot Wheels to count. Lots of watches in my collection.

Lots os mini bikes. Just traded a mini bike for a pistol tonight.
 
We are cut from the same cloth it appears, Seventy.

I own close to 1000 LP's and have a pretty nice system. Castle Kendal II, Adcom GFA 545 II, Hafler SE 100 and a Dual 701. Took years to gather these particular components but I am extremely happy with the results.

Also into firearms. Although I do not currently own handguns I am licensed to do so and will be in the market for a service issue Colt 1911A1. I'm also interested in a Beretta 92FS. Pretty much the only two pistols I'd be interested in. I do currently own a 1973 Winchester model 70 .270, 1966 Remington 870 Wingmaster with the cob forestock and two barrels (believed to be police issue). My plinkster is a Mossberg 702. I refinished the stock on the Wingmaster using tung oil and I am extremely happy with the results. Considering doing the model 70 this winter.

Thank you for starting this thread and sharing your hobbies!
 
My new dog....his name should be dupree he is loafer, who idles time away, plays with his new found toy (lipstick), my girlfriend gives him more attention, head rub, back rubs, ear rubs!!...defends him when he is being sassy, she think the sun rises and sets on this dog.....I am crabby and I no longer get attention from her!.....well i do get more free time!

Well apparently I'm either boring or broke and maybe both. I must not have enough money for all the other cool stuff you guys have posted. So I work and play with my 67 Mustang Convertible or my new love the 68. I've got 2 guns a Mossburg 12 gauge and a 9 mm S&W... so I call that protection not a hobby. I still compete in a few old man classes of http://www.okurijudo.org/index.html and mostly I love being home and just hanging out with my wife and daughter. I work with a charity or two when time permits.
 
Making babies or at least try, metal detecting and woodworking/turning.

You're not the only one who's broke! I'm not sure where all these other guys earned/won/stole their stacks of money to pay for such toys and hobbies... one guy even said he took two years off to play around with a car.. but I don't have those kinds of resources. My wife just had our first child and simultaneously quit her job. She will start another one, part time, in a few months... but as of now I have one more mouth to feed (plus the wife, plus the dog) and HALF the income!

To answer the OP question.. I used to be into firearms but haven't been since I found I have no budget for them. I have a HK USP .45, Remington 870 12 ga pump (who doesn't), his and hers AR15s, a Ruger 10/22, and a "loaded" Springfield M1A. Zero optics on any of these, only iron sights. Not by choice, just can't afford them! I got my CCW a couple months ago, and I want to get a Springfield XD 9mm subcompact. If I trip over a suitcase full of money tomorrow, I'd also like an Arsenal SLR-107F just for funzies.

I play Fallout sporadically, I run, I MTB and cycle, I collect stickers that look cool (weird, I know), I read, I camp, I hike, I like movies (again, who doesn't), I pet the dog, and I used to like to travel a lot.. but again, lack of money.

Someone mentioned sex earlier. What's that again? :sex:
