Members Vendor Defendor Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Originally posted by GAS Man I guess for me it was guns.And not rich enough to hoard cars. There ya go. Thats me. I started collecting guns between my dad and I we have a decent collection. I am really into WWII guns. I have a M1 Garand and am saving for a M1903A4 Springfield sniper. I want to get a Thompson and a BAR but its probably unlikey. Even if I get a Class III weapons permit (which wouldn't be too difficult for me to get) the average price of a M1927 Thompson is in the $8,000-14,000 range. BARs go for a lot more. $20,000 price range. So, when it comes to getting one of those there is a company making new replicas that are semi auto for a quarter the cost. So, I think that will be the road I go down. And I always wanted to collect cars. I had a 500hp Chevy El Camino that got stolen, now I have a 450hp Buick Grand National and I always want more. lol. My girlfriend wants a convertable '69 GTO. I've always wanted to own a old Chevy Panel Truck, an old Ford Bronco, an old Camaro etc but I don't think I will unless I win the lotto. Right now my focus is on collecting guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members curseoftruth Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Restoring muscle cars. I am a Mopar guy, had a 72 340 Cuda, a 71 RT Changer in Plum Crazy Purple with a 440 4-barrel, and a 73 Chrylser Imperial. Talk about an expensive hobby! Sold them all through the years (last was the Changer about 5 years ago). Still kick myself for selling the Cuda, I loved that car! I used to run a website called musclecar.net that got about 3 million viewers a year in the early days of the Web. Closed that down in 1998. I could be making a good living on advertising if I still had it up and running today! Just lost interest in the hobby after my daghter was born.

Members u6crash Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 For the longest time is was drawing. I'm a little out of practice now, but for the last couple of weeks I've been into amateur architecture design.Here's a drawing I did after I got into guitars. Not one of my best, but somewhat relevant.I've also been into video, animation, and motorcycles. Once upon a time I collected comic books too.

Members guitarkid∞ Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Originally posted by GAS Man Excluding women (or the opposite sex) (or same sex if that's your thing) as a given,I guess for me it was guns.Never got a license to kill and where I live the entire county is all fenced off. So much for that hobby. Guitars seemed more beneficial.And not rich enough to hoard cars.What was yours? probably video games. i used to sit and play them non-stop.....now i barely touch my PS2!

Members lewzer Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 Before guitars, my biggest interests where baseball, professional wrestling and video games; that was about 5 or 6 years ago. These days, I still love my baseball and play video games but I've lost interest in wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bob the dentist Posted February 20, 2006 Members Share Posted February 20, 2006 music in general was big for me. I had wanted to sing in a rock band ever since my mom put on the Scorpions in the car when I was little but then my voice changed, so I was like "oh I guess I'll play guitar instead."I was also fairly big into swimming, but that was just a summer thing, and I had soccer in the fall.
