I love drag racing and muscle cars but I can't afford to play with that stuff any more. My only other hobbies now are fixing small engines and machining stuff(even though I do that for a living too).

well other then r/c's i would have to say r/c's r/c's and more r/c's lol joking....i don't know if i want to tell all my hobbies for fear of people making fun of me or not beliving me at all but i'll do it any way....one of my other hobbies is model building...i love building models, another hobbie is drag racing...i have a 1:1 drag car that me and my dad both run...it does 8.63 in the quater but i have to use a throttle stop to 9.50's....another hobbie i have is that i hunt...i just shot my first deer last year with my grampa's 30:06 high powered rifle....another hobbie is that i collect hot wheels cars ever since i was 6 and it has just stuck...i have over 300 cars worth well over $600...also i ride bmx, montain bike, atv's, dirt bikes and i snow board....and those are my hobbies

I have a Hot Wheels collection too, way more than 300 though!

Why do you have to use the throttle stop?
 
I am in to RCs mainly these days but also like fishing, dirt bikes and guns. Fishing and dirt bikes have been with me siince I was little and RCs are a more recent hobby for me. I allways liked them as a kid but just couldn't afford them and the rents wouldn't afford them. In the gun ollection are a Rugger 9mm, Mossy Persuader, and Mossy 308.

I like to wax things.

867hp - NICE!
 
CARS!!! i love cars, always have and always will. I'm only 14 but i know a lot about cars for my age.
At the moment we are rebuilding a classic Fiat 500. But i can't work on it for a while because its having a respray :(. but after that we gotta completely put the whole thing back together:) its gonna be fun!
 
867hp - NICE!

ya it cost me and my dad $17000 just for the motor to get it done....

here's a pic of the car with me and my dad beside it....it's from 2 years ago:

I'm into computer games (yeah I'm a nerd) and just computers in general. I think if I hadn't have gotten into RC all the money I've spent on it probably would have gone towards an awesome computer.
 
Man... is this a long list... LOL

I have had several hobbies over the years, but RC has been the only one to stick. I like to shoot any one of my 3 Glock pistols... but I would say the .357 K frame is my favorite. I have a small 50 yard range on the farm that I like to shoot... when I have time.

NASCAR is definitely ranking up there though. I go to at least 2 races a year.
 
my kids are right up there with r/c...lol
r/c is pretty much my escape from being daddy... I'd say that gardening is a hobby, but its more of a way of life style......
