wow, some cool stuff in this thread
as for me...
not sure I'd call them odd, but 2 things I collect are t-shirts from around the world, I have most of the US and about 60 countries around the world
I also have a thing for vintage asian guitars

^^^^
I have that same problem Rixster! Mine are custom US gear and some fun oddish stuff (Parker Fly, Roland G707/GR700 synth guitar)... The customs are from Kevin L. Pederson Custom guitars (I think you can still get to him at: www.abyssguitars.com) and they are SA-WEET! I have some Collings acoustics and another local custom guitar in the works (Forshage ergonomic guitar...) so I can relate to the guitar, car, and dog bugs! All three take up to much time and money! But dang I love them!

David,

Like that rig! Very nice! They have community viewing nights up at the University I went to (which is about 10 min from my current house) and I LOVE to go out there and see what they have going on! SUPER COOL!

Not sure if you call it an odd hobby, but other than 928s, Jeannie and I like to go far back in the mountains and get really dirty

Like Landseer (shoulda known by the name), we love Newfoundland dogs. Like to show them and do Working Dog activities with them as well (draft work, water work, etc.). My wife and I have also done Newfoundland Rescue for the State of AZ for about 17 years.

It all started here in 1965...with the logical endpoint being the 928.

As a newbie, wish I knew what that was? Sorry if it is an inside joke.

Uh, it was a one-off. Never went into production.

[OK, it was a '58 VW that a buddy and I converted into a"dune buggy". My first car project. I didn't mean that it had any historical relationship to the 928 other than it was the start of my car hobby.]

The historical relationship would have more meaning on the 911 Forum
VW's is where my car hobby started also.
