    Let' see...

    I play hockey. It's expensive, but it beats a Gym membership.

    I rebuild and maintain four vintage vespas that my wife and I ride... not to mention scooter rallies that we go to...

    I owned and operated a professional recording studio running all analog gear for around six years... I guess that was a bit more than a hobby... though in the end, I don't think I made much off it (until I sold all the gear). there's a saying studio owners have... how do you get one million bucks in the studio business? Start with Two. ;D

    I am a professional audio tech, so that's advanced beyond hobby level for me, but I guess I have some expensive toys because of it...

    Lastly, I have this 1960 Corvair that I work on and drive:

    if you study art and practice alot, tattooing is pretty fun, I did alot of art over the years and then got a starter kit, it was a crappy kit but upgrading your equiptment over time gets expensive. I did it for about a year outta my appartment, but I stopped after my son was born because I didnt want people coming over with him here. its really fun learning new tecniques and learning about how the machine (I hate it when people call it a gun) works. its a long process but if you get into it enough its a good career and a lot of learning

    STi. Its not what you think. Its a car. Never ending. But its worth it. Get too much attention from five-o. But its worth it.

    I like evo and rx-7 as well. What year guys?

    Anything car related is generally expensive. I have more money invested in my M3 than I paid for the car. lol
    I'm a huge fan of the FD RX7s not so much of the Evo's or STi's even though my roommate has a swapped and caged Impreza that he rally crosses.
