What are some of your other hobbies?
- Thread starter Blackssr
- Start date
We just purchased our ST last week, researched them ALOT before investing, & got extremely lucky to find the right one surprisingly fast (used 21 with only 450 miles, PO owned 8 days)
It's VERY refreshing to see the age of enthusiasts that are drawn to this fine machine...
Being in my 40's as well, some of my other hobbies include a younger crowd, whom I just don't mesh well with..
I suppose I'm an older soul than my age?
For YEARS, I've been a die hard golf degenerate...
Yes, I'm the idiot you'd see out in frigid temps, 40MPH winds, etc etc
Since relocating to Boise, ID mid last year, that has come to a halt...
But I too enjoy firearms (Glocks mostly) and have accumulated some of the good ones
But being what this forum is... I am absolutely a gear head at heart
I've been addicted to scooters since I was a young lad.. and acquired my 1st bike my Jr year of HS
(Ninja 500ex)
I've had too many to list over the years, but my current stable includes
2003 HD Night Train
2011 HD Street Glide
2003 Honda RC51
Still getting settled into the new homestead, but I'm counting the days until I start of the restoration on my baby...
1941 Ford Pickup
Been on my bucket list for over 20 years as my 1st truck was a 56 F100 (another bucket list rig)

That is awesome. I am jealous.... We have a 2019 Newmar Ventana w/triple slide. Not full timers yet but take 3 month trips. I just turned 51 but delayed hitting the road again because of Covid. Wife just graduated Med School (35 years old). We are in the process of opening a joint office with established Oncologists so we can hit the road. She will be a Dr. in name only. I warned her that I can never be Mr. Dr.... Hahaha.. I helped her fulfil her dream since she was a little girl and helped get there but that is it... Time to enjoy life.
I restore classic Broncos with my high school buddy on weekends, we started after he and I built my 72 bronco and I started entering it car shows, when a gentleman asked me if I was interested in two more early broncos.
Well ! it started to snowball from there, between the both of us we now own 13 of them. After restoring them we turn around and sell them to fellow early bronco enthusiasts, we take what money was made from one bronco and just put back into the next one, so definitely a labor of love.
He are a few picks of what we have done in the last 3 years and what we have left to still do. I will add each year in the order of the picks
1971 sport (sold)
1971 sport (sold)
1973 Explorer (sold)
1976 (in progress)
1971 half cab (in progress)
1968 (in progress)
Next builds
1975
1967
1966
1972 Ranger

Now that is a cool hobby... Spending time with your bud and rebuilding classics.. not a better way to spend off time.. Kudos to the pair of you.
Can I come and hang out?..

I'll take the "Red" one please. Spectacular.
With regard to the remake.. IMHO GM missed the mark. If they had made it retro, sales would have been through the roof. Dodge made the same error with the Charger(twice). However, they hit a homerun with the retro Challenger. Now we need a Hemi 'Cuda and sales will explode. I will be the first in line.

As young teenager, I frequented a Mom and Pop Italian restaurant for Pizza and Chicken Parm Heros. The owner had an original Orange (Maybe 1970???) Judge GTO and I often think about that car today. I was maybe 13-14 at the time and road my bicycle to get lunch. That is the earliest memory I have of falling in love with muscle cars. It never let up and still makes my heart race.
Young pretty women, Cool Cars, and good food. The essentials of life that any Red Blooded Male needs to survive. LOL.

That C8 is breathtaking, kudos and drive in good health. I called Kerbeck to see if they had a C8 white convertible on the lot. They thought I asked to meet the pope for lunch. No such luck and I'm not getting on a list, I'll change my mind five times before the car arrives. I miss the days when you could just go to the dealership throw down your cash and bring the car home. The world sucks right now. Did you pay over sticker for it may I ask because kerbeck is list. No dealer markup.
