Re: What other hobbies? (DollaGreen)
Tryin to restore my 73 is taking most of my time these days. That and surfing the forum(s).
A couple years ago I used to enjoy world travel, yachting, working stained glass, home improvement, digital photography, computer gadgetry.
Once I get the vette refinished I hope to get back in the swing of those things.

Re: What other hobbies? (Turbo-Jet)
Hey Turbo-jet,
Will you be in Detroit this May to race your FSAE car? I'm the faculty advisor for the FSAE team at the University of Missouri-Rolla - and we're gonna win it all!! :D If you'll be there, maybe we can trade design secrets. ;)
Anyone else involved with FSAE? It's a blast!
Oh yeah, hobbies: hiking, skiing, cycling, daughter's soccer team, building a garage for my '71 Vette.

Re: What other hobbies? (67HEAVEN)
I follow Nascar, and collect all of the diecast made for Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I used to have aquariums, infact my last one is for sale in the local paper right now.
Oh yeh, a wife and two daughters keep me busy too... :cheers:

Re: What other hobbies? (DollaGreen)
I'm in college :D . So the adage "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll" applies well. Fixing the Vette is turning into a full time hobby. My ROTC training seems to be taking up a huge chunk of time now, so that's Uncle Sam's hobby for me-just got back from West Point for FTX! :flag HOOAHHHH!!!!
