FN FS2000 with Mars Red dot = $3500

Almost even. lol

too bad the Volks won't appreciate like our weapons are!

I fly a combat wing which is nearly indestructible and will fly at 100mph. And a foam 3d with a 36" wing span that can be broken in half and back flying in 10 min. The 3d craft will fly as fast as 25mph and as slow as a walking pace.

I bought a Trex helicopter, built it, tested it while tethered but was too scared to fly it. Sold it to a marine in Afghanistan!

Nice.

I have quite a few UT BMW's, a few E36's including a rare Dakar M3, Estoril M3 vert etc.
Here is a walk around of the in-box section, I have the other side dedicated to out of the box cars.

You kidding, i locked that up that very day. She didn't know it at the time, but it was locked up.

And they're not just in boxes, they are displayed around the house.

bing240sx · 03-31-2013, 05:05 PM

watches, clothing, kids / family, building businesses etc. etc.

looking forward to getting into weapons when I have the space to keep them properly secured and away from the kids (can you tell I'm Canadian?

)

bad jokes...

you know why the bottoms of our feet are white? it's the only part god can't see.

KingOfJericho · 04-01-2013, 09:20 AM

Used to be my reef aquarium but I had to sell it off when we moved. Now it seems to be home repair and upgrades...

mike the snake · 04-01-2013, 04:17 PM

I race RC cars, placed 5th at the nationals last year. I also fly model gliders, dynamic soaring, where we hold the world speed record for ALL model aircraft, with unpowered model sailplanes. The WR today is 499mph!

Both these are more obsessions than hobbies though.

Here's a couple vids. These are slower vids, because the fastest vids you can't really see anything. Crank up the sound! These gliders make crazy sounds as they rip the air.

Ehwnnc · 04-01-2013, 09:26 PM

Cant afford any cool hobbies right now so ive been working in the yard which i find pretty cool and keeps me from sitting inside being lazy

jaco · 04-03-2013, 12:11 AM

I do RC Car's and Saltwater fish/coral.

Kwando · 04-03-2013, 12:52 PM

I use to do saltwater..talk about a money pit lol. I won't do it ever again.

Litos · 04-03-2013, 02:30 PM

i have one of the most saought after collection of Pokemon Cards and Pokemon accessories....

just kidding - i'm not a douchy ******

anyways, my hobbies are photography and BBQ.

i can sit here and burn ya'lls faces off with some sick BBQ pics

jaco · 04-04-2013, 07:15 PM

Saltwater is a huge money pit, but cheaper then RC at this point... kind of surprising. I use to spend $250 to prep for one race back in high school and college.

JLed79 · 04-17-2013, 08:44 AM

Collecting and playing high end guitars, Billiards, Photography, Watches and guns, lots and lots of guns... I currently have over 75,000 rounds of ammo... Downhill skiing also. Finally made it to Mad River Glen this year!

Its a good thing we don't live close enough to hang out. We would end up nudging each other into spending 10s of thousands in guns, rc, and track days

I have a large section of my garage full of misc gun stuff, a cool (but broken) rc plane (nothing crazy) a hand full of micro rc aircraft, some nitro rc trucks...

Foxrus14 · 04-17-2013, 10:39 AM

Taking classes to be a pilot. My Father in-law has 2 planes and he needs someone to take over them when he passes. So he is helping me learn. Makes it nice that he is a certified flight instructor as well. He had nothing else to do since he is retired. So I am gonna say my new passion and hobby is flying.

love me some BBQ

what type of pit do you prefer?

I used to be strictly a vertical water smoker guy, but I have a couple of pellet smoker/grills now, so much easier and for most meats (as long as you adjust your style a little) the results are just as good.
