Man. I used to be into that as well. That was my previous "thing" before I got into auto detailing. Its way to expensive and I was realizing the difference just wasn't that impressive/noticeable to be worth the effort. Glad I got out before I bought too much.

Only went through 2 headunits, 4 speaker sets, 2 amps and 3 subs lol.

I got rid of 2 speaker sets and my other amp died. So for now I am keeping what I have and put the best in my car and thats that, no more.
 
Some of my favorite hobbies:
-Girlfriend (takes all my money lol)
-I love to hike, doing Mt. Whitney this year again.
-Gym is my second home
- Shooting
-Help my friend build Off-Road trucks then beat them in the desert
-Reading
 
Photography, my wife and I owned a studio for 15 years before my multiple back surgeries forced us to close. I sold 90% of the studio equipment but kept my White Lightening Studio Flash equipment. I just bought a Nikon D7000 and want to get some good lenses, especially a wide angle for car photography.

Model railroading. Some friends and I built and maintain a large 55'x24 multilevel O gauge display layout in a mall in Frackville PA. if you go to YouTube and search Frackville +trains you'll see videos. We run up to 12 trains at once using MTH DCS Remote Control.

I played drums in a RnB, oldies party band till last November but my back couldn't keep up with the schedule So now I just started in a church praise band. We have our first service this Sunday.

I'm also really into old coal mines and RR's. We used to explore old mines but they've either gated or blown most of them shut. But that was fun while it lasted. I'll post some pics.

Finally in the summer we have a backyard pond. And we are involved with our local Mustang Club and go to meets and other events.
 
During the warmer months, you're likely to find me getting dirty turning wrenches on this 850 hp, 1300 lb. monster:

Otherwise, keeping the house up, maintaining the family vehicles and preserving my El Camino takes up the rest of the precious spare time.

I used to LOVE doing this when I was a teenager, especially after washing my car. Me and my boy used to ride out with the bump in the trunk and cruise around Annapolis, MD and downtown DC.
 
As of now, here are mine (not in any particular order):
-Build car models (need to get back into it)
-Play guitar (same as car models)
-Autocross
-Cars in general
-New to detailing
-Xbox - I am really into Forza and have a full steering wheel setup and everything along with Call of Duty
-Collect NASCAR diecasts.
-And also just cruising around as stated above, along with riding around on my motorcycle.

Most of them are cost effecient, I am really trying to not get into anything else lol. I have enough trouble finding time for these.
 
Working on home improvementd a real stress reliever. Plus repairing, rebuilding, and cleaning/polishing old school BMX bikes. Teaching my some the art of hockey.
 
Photography and a little woodworking.

Trying to have the time to do all this!
 
Gym, cars (especially suspension components and forced induction design), paintball, guns, certainly detailing, and photography. Detailing is one of the cheaper hobbies sadly :(
 
Nice hobbies I'm seeing so far. I have a couple myself.

1. Skateboarding - takes up most of my life besides work
2. Modifying cars
3. Detailing obviously
 
I referee HS basketball and run a youth conditioning camp in the summers. And Of course detailing anything that moves, especially Harley's.
 
I love to mountain bike all the way up until the snow forces me to stop.

- Also still playing my favorite sport, soccer, indoor mostly during the winter months.
- When fall and summer come around I play in slow pitch Softball leagues near work and one by home.
- I also love keeping mine and my families cars mechanical sound. And of course after that they always need a wash Im the MAN
 
**I'm not allowed to correct the above- forgot to add one

- Also build custom PCs or upgrade factory ones for family and myself.
 
My other hobby is work. Literally if I'm not at work, school, or at home detailing, I'm driving to work or school!

LOL well I haven't really spend a lot of money in to that yet, but I have been learning a lot about it from a cousin of mine. I like the way he does the music connection. One thing I learned is not about the brand is about how you mix things up around and how you connect it. I have a 95 Chevy Astro that will be my Mobile rig for my auto detail business and been waiting to do the music on it. I am the type of guy that can not drive a car without music. All though I will have to suck it up now and try not to blast music like crazy since it will be bad for representing my business as well. But it will be a nice system though, I will do a video later on of how loud is going to be LOL Im the MAN
