I think it is pretty cool to see all of these different hobbies.

Its good to know we're not all just super dork nerds and that we do other things too    Not that being super dork nerds is a bad thing

I agree, nice to see besides our love for obey and f*cked up sense of humor, we are actually have other things going on in our lives. I am feeling all warm and fuzzy...well nothing 30seconds and a bottle of lotion can't cure.

Actually, old school gaming took over my car obsession after I had kids.

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.

besides turbografx i buy cars about one per year and fix it or get it street worthy. then sell it. mostly V8 Camaros and trucks. i also build VW busses and sell those too, no bugs! im currently working on the wifes 74 k5 with a 6 inch lift. im waiting on the f*cken machinist to give me back my finished block. i like bicycles cruisers and vintage BMX. i built a 78 mongoose for my daughter. so now im getting into minibikes as my son ( bought one from our young buddy around the corner with his own cash.

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

my inherited name is Chivo in my neighborhood.

I think its awesome to see some of the other things people in the forums enjoy doing other than obeying.

@cjameslv only 30 seconds ? come on now bruh lol

[csgx1]

Great to see that there are a lot of others that are into cars around here too.  

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.

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.

Awesome, it sounds like you're a Z fanatic too.   I also wish I could have kept the TT but I ended up selling it to basically get one of my other dream cars.  Keeping two Zs just wasn't ideal, especially with kids now.  But NA Zs are still great cars, fun to drive, stylish and the engines are damn near bullet proof.  Only thing is working on certain things can be a pain since the the engine compartment is so tight; which is why I'm kind of dreading the work I eventually have to do.

Only red Zs?...so was that a must have color for you?  Did the game, S.C.I. with a red Z have any influence?   One of my favorite PC Engine games just because it features the Z. 

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

Yeah, sadly a lot of Zs are really thrashed as these cars have gotten older. The one you described kind of sounded like my TT when I first got it. Misfiring with a lot of issues.  Clean, unmolested TT Zs are getting harder to find.




Old pic of my NA 2+2...

Nice Z csgsx1!!  Yeah I have always loved the Z in red for some reason but I also have a black G35 coupe.

Here is my current Z. 


After some work, it's running and driving great now.  I know what you mean, these cars are a pain to work with.  I just changed the alternator on this one and it was kicking my butt. I was lucky to find another Z lover in my area that can do some works on my Z, he knows them inside and out.


Here is my old twin turbo.

I look at Z cars about the same as I do 3000GTs. They would be great to own, but only if I had the money to pay for parts and let someone else work on it.

I'm working on my MBA and do Crossfit 3 times a week.

I have a very unique taste in music as I enjoy listening to power metal and folk metal. But I also enjoy listening to 90's Alt Rock as well as 80s-90s synthpop.

His favorite album is St. Anger by teh metallicats

I'm a father of some teenagers, some elementary kids and a toddler, (5 children) so honestly most of my free time is spent being a dad.  Story time, assisting with school projects and being a full time taxi to dance/gymnastics and marching band competitions is pretty much my 2nd job.

Cars?
I can't say I enjoy doing anything with cars other than taking road trips with my family and commuting to work.  I like jogging and biking, but I haven't had opportunities or willpower to do much of either this fall/winter. 

Pro Wrestling
I love old school pro wrestling (WWF/AWA) and some newer indy style/strong style rasslin' like ROH and New Japan (And a dash of TNA when it doesn't suck). 
FUN FACT:I toured my local area in 2000-2002 on the indy circuit doing mostly promo work/managing/announcing and some wrestling.  I came out of retirement in 2011-2012 and did 4 last matches with some of my closest friends and had a blast.  Never really thought about going back into that, but if the perfect venue comes up, I wouldn't completely dismiss the idea of 'one more match'...LOL

I love football, both playing with friends on the playground and watching on TV.  I spend most of my free time on Sunday's watching.

I'm with Chany on the Folk/Celtic and Melodic/Progressive Death Metal scene.  Currently some of my favorite bands are - Wolfheart, Edge of Sanity, Frosttide, Hoth, Ne Obliviscaris, Neurotech and Shade Empire.  I also love synth/chill wave stuff like Com Truise, Mega Drive, Powerglove and Perturbator.

My classic favorites in the metal scene are Arch Enemy, Amorphis, Opeth, Iron Savior, Iced Earth and Alice in Chains.

Digging those Zs one of the classics from the 90s, that was one of the cars I was looking at when I found a nice MR2. The MR2 also has a really tight engine bay, this and the engine location doesn't make it very fun to work on. I just did a bunch of maintenance on mine in October and it was pretty difficult.  
Here is a pic of the car http://ektophase.com/otherstuff/MR2Pic1.jpg

I'm also into to custom PCs, linux, and game dev. Outdoors I do some camping and hiking. I like to play a little tennis, snowboard, and bike but don't get around to these very often.

[VenomMacbeth]

Seems like there are a lot of car buffs on this forum.  I wish I could get up with some of you guys, as I could use some help fixing up my old Fairlane.

Anyway, aside from what everyone already knows (video games, transforming robots/mechs of most kinds) I also draw & paint when the muse strikes, and I enjoy amateur naturalism...IE mostly insect collecting.
