Default Other obsessions/hobbies in addition to your Pcar

I know that we are all car lovers but also have a life outside of it. What are some of your other interests?

I know some of us love photography because we were privileged to see some of the pictures. It can be a sport, unusual hobby, raising the next Tiger Woods or Yo Yo Ma.

I'll start. Tennis is my obsession as well as traveling.

I'm 24 and spent $30,000 on a car.

I am currently limited to one obsession thanks very much.

Detailing. I'm fortunate enough to have a hobby that actually generates income for me to pay for my automotive habits.

Used to be into watches but that hobby got a bit rediculous. Sold all of them but 2 and used the money for track stuff.

Ski racing, cycling, karting and soon-to-be motocross. Can't seem to shake that need for speed.

Still an avid watch collector - filled three 12 slot watch cases, plus several others laying around...

Let's see - I moonlight as a high school varsity football coach, powerlifting (more coaching than lifting these days, getting way too old to do more than one meet a year), on occasion I help out some of my buddies as a substitute martial arts instructor (too many interests to take on my own students - FMA, sticks and edged weapons), slow-pitch softball (co-ed grabass team at work), beach volleyball (this is So Cal...) SCUBA diving (CA waters are way too cold to go too often), and poker with college buddies (not the real kind, the kind where you have to have a white board to keep track of all the wild cards...)

Detailing is my latest pursuit - just to do my own cars... not planning on going pro or anything, but I do find satisfaction in a job well-done and detailing seems like a good way to indulge... I've got a brand new PC and I'm not afraid to use it (on either of my trucks...)
