I don't remember a thread about this... although I'm sure at one point in time it would have had to existed. Other than cars/trucks/motorcycles, what interests do you guys have?
Personally, I need another hobby like I need a hole-in-the-head. My biggest hobby -ok addiction- of the past 6 months -or so- has been fish tanks. I just ordered the last pieces of my new +$700 setup (46g bowfront). I keep a few types New Guinea Rainbowfish mainly, and will be keeping a rare, endangered species in the new tank. I need to get a grip on this thing though, since that's now my 5th tank, and my wife is going to go crazy if I don't. I've had fish for a few years, for some reason though it's really caught on with me in the past 1/2 year.
Other than that (and cars, of course) I like to play in the garage (yay tools!), enjoy my home theater system, and formerly - computers... but I've gotten away from them, compared to what I once was, since it's my job & it sucks the fun out of it.

Ski, clubs, sex, booze. The usual.
Other than that, it's work and study. Maybe I will one day get a real hobby. Modding an elantra isn't enough for me :)

I don't know if you'd call it a hobby, but working out and eating 6 times a day has become an obsession for me this year. 29 pounds gained so far, and counting. :)

holy **** steve!? you gained 29 pounds of muscle? i feel sorry for your ratchets.
fabrication, welding, engineering, and of course, getting my arse whipped by calculus and engineering classes is my hobby.
and I guess I have a girlfriend, she takes enough of my time to be considered a hobby.

I used to have that... then she became my wife... and my hobby turned into a job. ;)

i also snowboard in teh winter, and do all forms of bmx except for racing and vert (that leaves dirt jumping, street, and flatland)

OK, in reality I too have too many hobbies. Guns, cars, guns, cars, drinking, trying to remember what that one 3 letter word I used to get was again . . . .

Hyunelan, seems like we have a lot in common. The fish tank thing, former computer thing, the wifey thing.
Last year she even gave me a subscription to The Aquarium Fish magazine.

Video games. (That Mario Kart DS is going to own, who doesn't want free internet gaming? I just need to get a DS now, hmm).
This new Mac is becoming an obsession quite quickly.
Making fun of people (yep, you guessed it, because I'm insecure with my life, haha).

My Husband & I were getting into the fish thing too, we had plans of expanding our cichlid tank. Welllll......as u may know the joys of owning a home, the money went towards other things in the house. It also started getting too expensive so we sort of put it on hold. Hmmm...maybe another reason why I still don't have that many mods on the car.
Right now I am into photography and web design. I might take a class in the spring for Dreamweaver :).
