I love bowling and playing pool. Would love to get into a fun bowling league again. Other than that I've gotten back into football cards again.

**Halon** · 08-09-2006

Bowling is fun also. I haven't done it much lately though. Don't know many people who enjoy it as much as I do. But I'm not the "league" type bowler. I'm more into the drunken bowling on a friday night when it's Cosmic Bowling time, lights off, music playing, long islands, oh ya! Good times can be had believe it or not!

Lately its been drinking as the number one hobby lol. Followed by cars, working on projects- sub boxes, stereo installs, motorcycles..etc... I like doing things myself so the projects usually take up alot of time when Im not doing school crap or working.

Also fishing is a big one, boating, wind surfing, biking, snow skiing, jet skiing, basically anything outdoors.

I do like playing with computers, but you can only take so much when you do it all day for a living.

I also have an obsession with cleaning my car, I do it at least once a day whether its shaking out/vacuuming the floor mats, dusting the car, using quick detailer, etc.

Haha, I have one, thanks for being concerned though

Its called "pride in ownership" and respecting and valuing what I own and put the money I work hard for towards. My car is a '02 with ~32k miles on it and the car still looks like it just rolled off the assembly line (possibly better actually, I put a brand new '06 to shame b/c I outshined/reflected him). I know a lot of you DSMers won't understand this, but its just another aspect of being a car enthusiast. Some people only care about going fast, some only care about having a good looking car, and some care about both. Not to mention, doing small touch-ups on a daily basis takes less time combined than giving the car a full cleaning.

I know at least Curt and Peter can relate!

That's what I was thinking. It's a little different when it isn't a 15 year old car that runs 12's with oxidized paint.

St Cloud State University. They teach Mig, Tig, Oxy-acetalene welding, as well as how to use mills lathes and that kind of stuff. It's part of my major luckily, so I get credits for it toward graduation, and get to have some fun.

I know what you mean. I use to take really good care of my cars too until I found out that no matter what I did rust will get it at the end. I use to wake up before the sunrise. Wash my car and wax it before the sun came up so I would not get water stains. I use to wash my engine every weekend. No, matter what I still keep pride in popping the hood of my rust up car and show people what and engine bay is suppose to look like. Well that is after they laugh at me and say why do you spend so much money and time on that POS. Dam ricers, don't they know that a DSM will not only beat their best time at the track, but also them on jack stand time also.

Rust will only get your car if you drive it in the winter

It will take ALOT longer for rust to start up if you only drive it in the summer- thats what winter beaters are for.

I also have this obsession Chris has for cleaning cars, my old 1G with 10 year old paint shined like no other, just takes alot of work to keep it that way. The beamer did not shine well when I bought it, but I brought it back with paint cleaners, rubbing compounds, and alot of buffing!

I like my X-Men cards/comics. I like finding "new" music -shutup Joe/Pdiddy- to listen to and maybe one day I'll play Tennis again. I like sketching/drawing/painting/molding, etc... I'd say I'm pretty good if I have the supplies.

I used to play that ALL the time. If you have cards from when the game was first getting started and they are in good shape you are possibly sitting on some serious cash. I've seen some of my old cards that where a little rare back then for for $200-$500 each. Mine actually went to a better cause, heating a bunch of drunks in a bondfire.

Hmmm... I think im going to look into that. Do you know of any places where I can check the value of cards?

Video games, Drinking, learning how to do technical stuff, I love learning how to fix things, I am gonna be taking a welding/fabrication class starting next month, that kind of stuff, I always like fixing stuff around the house, even if it just stupid stuff like installing a new doorknob, just working with stuff makes me happy.

AJ · 08-09-2006
