I agree. You are already somebody. And you are the best. The best at being you. :)



My hobby mostly falls in the music realm as in collecting and going to shows. Also, like to do a lot of stuff outdoors and go exploring new places. That is never too expensive save maybe gas these days.

as a hobby, drag racing is expensive and most times, no payback. after spending thousands of dollars, you could win a trophy and bragging rights




I love going to Milan Dragway! The sound alone sends shivers...and I got to watch Sheryl Muldowney race once bigsmile

I loved gymnastics in High School. My favorite was the uneven bars. I was pretty good at them once upon a time happy

I love foreign Holidays. Been to loads of places, usually go twice a year if I can manage it. Like going to different towns, weekends away that kinda thing. Also love going to music concerts/gigs, football & rugby games. Day trips are cool too and I'm really into Irish History so I like going to museums and anything really to do with Irish History. But yeah, these cost a fair bit alright and as I'm saving my pennies at the moment to move abroad, I won't be doing much of these any time soon.

Owning and caring for vettes.



I've always wanted a vett but never had the money.. When I had the money and decided to buy a Harley, a friend from long ago called and wanted to sell me his vett..Hard decision and couldn't afford the vett and harley... Bought the Harley! bigsmile drinker
In the past I did a lot of cross stitching, matting and framing my own projects...thats pretty expensive now too.
I also made jewelry for awhile... Now silver is sky high and the market not as good...maybe get back to that later...
I've done some diving and on my todo list yet is a shark dive in a cage...bigsmile
And I have been over 200mph in a dragster with a friend that was a test driver...that was a real thrill..I love going to drag races...

Owning and caring for vettes.
i know the feeling my 67 shelby gt350 from junk yard score to pritine condition was a $60,000 project n im still not done with it yet, i decided to forgo original parts as i cant trust parts that are about 45 yrs old n if im lucky to find em they are way more costly than thier more modern counterpart, i take her to the track every couple of weeks as she isnt meant to be a garage queen i will say havin airbag suspention is a life saver on her along with a more modern drivetrain she can corner way better than she did new from the factory n can stop on a dime no matter how fast i go.n for all the chevy guys out there i run into on the track its funny as hell when i open the hood of my car they swear i have a monster sized engiene in there till they see a 347 stroker the chassis dyno on average is around 600 rw hp not bad n i can go more extreme with the motor
