Other than obeying (or other gaming), what are your hobbies?

My other interests are transformers, karate and the 300zx.

Cool!, another Z enthusiast here.  Z32?  I'd love to hear more details about your Z. 

I've owned two Zs. A '91 TT and a '93 2+2 that I still have.  Sadly, my Z has been sitting for years since it needs work and I haven't had the time. 

My only hobby now is basically changing diapers and taking care of my kids.  Unfortunately at this moment there's no time to play games, work on my cars or time for any other hobbies with little ones around.

If there is any sport I really like, it's baseball. I'm a White Sox fan as well. They seem to be picking up some good people this offseason. Has me excited for next year! I hope i can make to a few more games next summer since I only made it to one last year.

It looks like the Sox are making a run for it in 2015. Their pitching is significantly improved with Samardzija and the added bullpen help. I think the signing of Adam LaRoche was smart as the team needed a left handed bat after the departure of Dunn. I still think the team could make some improvements, ie second base and another bullpen arm. I am not sure if I am ready to call the Sox the favorite to win the division, but I think they will be in the hunt the whole season. Detroit will take a hit losing Scherzer and Porcello. The Royals haven't done much to add to their roster.

Besides gaming, like Necro, I like to go on long bike rides. I am fortunate enough to live near several bike paths that were converted from old railroad routes.

Part of the rails to trails movement?

It is indeed part of that movement. I go on the trails in the Chicago suburbs. There are 3 different trails I can take that are within 3 miles of my house. It is awesome!

That is pretty awesome!

Just remember they will grow up eventually. I love my daughters, but am glad they are past the age where my wife and I need to take care of them every waking moment.

Actually, old school gaming took over my car obsession after I had kids.  I love the 1st and 2nd Gen Taurus SHO (I currently have a 95' with mainly suspension and brake mods).  My fastest vehicle was actually a Grand Prix GTP that had a Whipple and a whole list of mods.  I also currently have a minty 86' LeBaron GTS turbo I had been collecting parts for enough mods to safely make 20 PSI.  I have lost interest in that and will probably be getting rid of it soon.

I also watch racing but prefer local short tracks.  NASCRAP really got ruined after Brian France took over so I don't watch it anymore.  Before kids I also raced in various FWD stock car classes in Michigan and Indiana.

I still have some older video rattling around on my YouTube channel.  Youtube.com/shoracer14. 

Funny how many of you dig cars.  To the OP.  For a daily go with the G8 GT.   You can't beat the bang for the buck.  I have been looking for a good deal on a G8 GXP but they're hard to come by.  I have to make a new daily driver purchase myself, one that can handle 3 kids with seats/boosters and 2 adults.  I think I've decided on a few year old Ford Flex with the EcoBoost.  It may be an ugly brick but at least it will move out of it's own way unlike our 03' Town and Country.

That's funny, my gaming hobby picked back up because I'm between "weekend" cars. Had to spend my money and occupy my time somehow! 

And I've looked into G8 GXPs as well, but they are out of my price range.
And unfortunately, my wife likes the looks of the G8 the least out of the three cars I'm looking at. Since she will be driving it from time to time as well, she gets a small say in the decision.

Have any pics of the Lebanon?

And good luck on your car search. Luckily we have a Sienna to haul our kids around in for the most part. So I can get a decently "fun" car as my next daily.

With a name like that, I figured you would be into GTOs.

[MrFlutterPie]

I collect action figures mostly 1/6 scale now a days and vintage Star Wars and Bucky O'Hare.  I also play Warhammer 40k and have been dabbling in Warmachine a bit.

I have own three different Z throughout the years.  My first one was a 2+2.  Sold that and picked up a 91 twin turbo.  Sold the twin turbo a few years ago and have been kicking myself ever since.  I just picked up another z, this time a 93 NA just this past August.  All the z I've own were red including this one.  I love the way it looks, always have since I was a kid. And they are fun cars to drive.

Agreed.  I've always wanted one.  I drove a twin turbo once that was a pile.  It misfired and needed major mechanical attention.  All of those problems on top of the huge wing, ugly chrome wheels and a front bra hiding front end damage.  I was thinking it was a $2500 car.  The owner was thinking it was a $5000 car.  Needless to say I didn't buy it

This is the Grandpa Turbo edition that my wife hates.

[cjameslv]

@Desh  Bwuhaha the memories...sniff good times, my step brother had a light blue older version of this when I was in middle school. Drove us everywhere, so embarrassing lol but he was proud cause it had a turbo. Of course back then I had no idea what he was talking about lol!

[mitsuman]

Nice Desh! My buddy used to have a baby blue dodge lancer (same car, different name). Me and my other buddy always tried to talk him into pulling a turbo system off a junkyard car and slap it in his Lancer.

I have way to many hobbies for time.   

Lets start with Automotive, been a mechanic for years so naturally auto building is one.  From antique restoration to fabricating, engine building, Trans building, rear end building, MIG TIG and Lil Arc welding, Roll cage building, Only thing I don't do is paint.  Been doing a lot of this for 30+ years.  Followed my father.  Current Toy is a 69 Superbee. Future toy sitting waiting is a 97 Z28 (been in the family since new), DSM is back to factory although fun while it lasted, it was still a 4 cylinder and lacked that thing called torque.  Currently daily driving and wishing someone would t-bone it.

Harley's, one custom chopper I built, all the frame work is mine (raked to 43* with 4 inch front stretch), ect ect.  Second one is a 96 Softail.

Skydiving instructor....RW, Wingsuit, Tandem.  Since 07.  Currently own Dynamic Velocity LLC.

Pyrotech for Ace Pyro in Michigan.  Started a year ago and still working on the last portion of my licensing.  By far one of the most interesting hobbies I have picked up.

This year I started AR15 building.  80% lowers no numbers is the way to go.  For fellow gun nuts, Collections consists of more glocks than needed, Kimber Warrior, Sig P250, couple Mosins, MP15 Sport, Custom build 556, second Build Started 6.8, M82 Barrett.  Not a bad start for the past year.

Video games are just a way to kill time when i have it.  NEC mostly, some NES, Very few Wii, And a PS3.

Good lord man! You are one busy fella.

Because i have a 3 year old boy, one of my hobbies is Thomas the Train.
For me, i skateboard, which most already know.
I have also recently rekindled my collecting of classical music vinyl. I blame a recent Chopin piece that I recently found for lighting the fire again.

A short term hobby of mine has been working on an unboxing video of a raffle i won here, but its been slow going.

I will also beat most of you in darts.
