passion or hobby?

I have had my car for over 20 years now. My passion started with hearing stories about my fathers car and when we purchaced my current car the passion grew from my thurst oh knoledge and the comrodery. Over the years as i grew and my life changed my intrest shifted to other thing and the passion slowed but never really disappeared. As I became more successful my passion for my car would heat up as I had spare money. My car and my garage is now my zen. It provides me an outlet to relax and challenge my skills and imagination. I have a small kid now who loves the car and loves spending time working on it with me. I think if you ask my wife it is a passion and that title is ok with me because the car does not define me. I would call it more an accent.
