I've been A body mopar since I got my driver's license in 06 but I recently acquired a GTX which I reluctant to take on because I don't know B bodies as good as I know A bodies. My favorite car ever is the duster and I have a few, followed closely by valiants ( boxy ones 67 to 73).

As I started looking up B body parts, it hit me that all my hobbies are expensive.

I am not normal because other than cars, I do model railroading, and I'm a fish keeper.

The model railroad spun off into slot cars, and model car kits.

Of course none of that is cheap.

Why can't I be normal !!

What other hobbies are you into?
 
Hobbies?
There are times that I feel that I should broaden my horizons. For example....
The past Thanksgiving, a guy at the gathering asked me What do you do for fun ? Now, I have to mention that this guy retired a few years ago and is a few years younger than I am. He and his wife have been to Japan, Europe and are planning a trip to South America to snorkel off the coast. He sold a few Jiffy Lube shops and cashed out. They are a bit "different" though. They sometimes swing with another woman since the wife swings both ways....
What do I do for fun? Car shows, the various car builds, spend time with family but for the most part, that is it.
His question gave me pause. I have no jealousy about his marital adventures but the fact that I haven't been to any foreign country did get me thinking.
I like old maps and satellite photos where you can compare changes over time.
As a kid, I used to build plastic car models, that was fun.
I love building things since I was a Carpenter for many years.
I do enjoy a challenge with car projects. It is fun to come up with a way to fix things.
