Mopar. Because rocket science is too easy.
That looks fun. What’s the takeoff distance on that thing?

It's been is storage since my brother purchased it (never seen it fly). Has a VW engine cut in half (two cylinder).
ATV's, motorcycles, alot of camping.
I would also own a nice speed boat, but the wife almost drowned as a kid, so it would be no fun for her.
My buddy as a real fast boat, 426 supercharged hemi, the DNR a few years ago gave him a warning ticket for running 100 mph on the local Tygart river.
He has managed to spit hemi blocks down the center, crazy dude.
When he runs low on hemi blocks, which he say will normally last one season, he puts a big block chevy in it, I asked him how long do the chevys last, he said one day, but they are easier to find.

Friends with the last name "Boyd" had a speed boat they named "Playboyd" which I thought was clever.

WW2 Military Collectables, specifically German WW2 Helmets.
I had a pretty big collection, sold some helmets to fund my return to Mopar Muscle Cars.

Lets see, I have my 71 duster, and an 80 vette i rebuilt. My other hobbies, Home audio, reptiles and a huge model railroad layout in my basement. Being single at my age means never having to ask permission. lolol Mind you no man should have to ask, just my opinion. I don't drink, smoke do drugs or gamble, so there is a lot of spare money for the hobbies.

Nice. I still have my Carver M200(?) and David Hafler pre-amp I assembled out of my first year in college circa 1981 or so. Bose 901's that became KEF's ? and a Yamaha ? turntable. As they are all in Texas and I am in Idaho the ? marks of model I cannot remember. It all sits in a closet but my recently ME graduate that just feels for stuff from my vintage (I am 58) will take it all and work it.

We live in the Texas Hill Country but head to our cabin in the mountains of far north Idaho for a couple or so months each summer. Given the horse-chit going on south and with 90 "cases" in our county here we decided to stay at least through the end of September. We are running high 70's up here and low 50's at night. We will fish, she will golf and I will shoot...

I used to be a WWII reenactor many years ago portraying a German soldier. My unit was entirely made up of soldiers out of Ft. Hood and a few of their family members. It was great fun serving as opposing forces for national guard units, and the looks on their faces when they were attacked by WWII Germans was priceless. I still have the uniforms and equipment. Can’t bring myself to part with them.

Scuba diving. After 30 years im just getting back into it and my boat sure makes it a lot easier than having to walk down to the beach.
Im the old guy lol

Very wise to use the boat. I nearly drowned coming out of the surf years ago when a series of waves knocked me down and kept me from getting back up. If my friends hadn’t grabbed hold of my bc and dragged me out I likely wouldn’t be here today. A few months earlier an experienced diver drowned on that same stretch of beach for the same reason. I do miss diving. I still have all the equipment, just don’t know when I’ll get to use it again.
