Into other expensive hobbies ?
- Thread starter MikeVV
- Start date
If you're going to start riding on the street get a dirt bike and ride it for 6 months but preferably 1 year. Remember, you are a fighter pilot and all of those cars are enemy fighters trying to kill you.

I rode for years when I was younger. I rode home from Duluth MN to the Twin Cities in a blizzard once on a Honda 350, lol. On the plus side I was the only one stupid enough to be on the road at that time. I was also wearing my scuba diving suit.

Yes sir some good trails in Florida. Hopefully your visiting in a few months when it's cooler. I lived in that part of Florida (Ocala) back in the 70's I'm on the east coast now with a breeze

For me it’s RC planes and boats, powder burners, air guns, three gauges of trains, film and digital photography, the odd car restoration. My life is a toy collection…

I'm known for owning quite a few turbo supras. Any I've gotten that weren't turbo or manual trans were very quickly converted. Waiting to get a garage to get another. Got a motorcycle I'm working on now. Some powder burners. Also like messing around with high-performance computers. I'm sure theres some stuff I'm forgetting. Play drums as well, but I've been playing on the same roland td12 kit for ages, and electric drums are super easy on sticks, so I don't even have to buy those, really. Oh, also married with kids. 
Dogs can be pretty expensive as well. Especially later in life.

Yeah, on one and the Factory Five cars have a lot going for them. And I wouldn't mind having one...
BUT, they just missed the proverbial boat what designing the body. It doesn't...look like a 33 or 34 Ford coupe. Not without having dark shades and squinting really hard.

Nah, just googled pictures as I don't have any of my own stuff. If I were to put my own stuff on display it would look something like this:
Except mine would be all grey because I haven't painted anything.
This is warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop. Tabletop game where you buy models, build them, paint them and then play with them.
Tabletop got the 10th edition of the rules just a month ago, here is there release trailer for it introducing new models for the tabletop.
I can't name any other brand that has as much lore as warhammer, there are hundreds of books, hundreds of audio books, several tabletop games, several pc games (Dawn of War and Space Marine as some of the better ones, Space Marine 2 will be coming out this year hopefully).
Below is a fanmade animation made by 1 person. Basically everything is lore accurate.

Airguns and video games lol. Both have cost me a lot of money but my son and daughter also love both so it gives us quality time together. One we get to stay inside when it's raining and cold. The other one gets us outside in the woods shooting targets and hunting even the weather is nice. Best of both worlds.

Yes sir, I totally understand about staying off the rode as much as possible. I still ride on the road but I'm very careful on which roads to ride on, to many people buying stuff on amazon on the "phone" while driving

"MY" hobby is shooting and collecting air guns, (have two newly acquired Theobens arriving today as a matter of fact but more on that later.) However, my lovely wife's favorite pastime in the world is remodeling and building additions to whatever house we're living in...this is the second major project in 2 1/2 years...AND she has submitted plans to build her dream house with a swimming pool on our other property..."only if I can a gun room dear"...I can can completely and 
categorley assure you collecting airguns is "beer" money compared to giving my wife the go ahead to pursue HER hobby...lol.
Current project with a "gulf view".

Ah, yes, they are all expensive. Some, more economically friendly than others. With airguns, you can retrieve a good portion of your money when you sell. But how about golf?? A top name driver? $1500. $25 at next year's flea market. Play every week? $50-$150 for 18 holes plus a cart. What do you get back?? NADA!
