Besides the Chevelle I have a '47 Chevrolet hot rod that keeps me busy driving all over Missouri and Arkansas. A '53 Chevy pickup was just added to my list of toys. I have a pretty good collection of '50s and '60 music and the last couple of years I've been collecting movies. I think I need help with theses addictions.

Besides my Chevelle, I play Roller Hockey, have a Sport bike, and enjoy paintball, and playing in Illustrator on my mac. Stuff I don't do often enough includes RC truck and car, Dirt bikes and drag racing.

Mostly the Chevelle and friends now. We use to have a cottage off Lake Huron so we did a lot of fishing and boating, ya even ice fishing. I was asked to relocate to SC, said ok and signed all the paperwork. Put the cottage up for sale and the company said, never mind, stay in MI. We completed the sale of the cottage and used some of the money to buy the Chevelle. I have a 19' Chaparral boat sitting in the yard that hasn't been used in years.

Still kinda po'd about that deal but it's ok. I have a Chevelle now and I've made a lot of great friends because of that.

Although it is not my career anymore, I am a chef by trade. I guess that since I don't work in the food industry anymore, it is a hobby. I love to cook all kinds of food. Otherwise, I am hanging with my sons...10 and 4, we like to go fishing.

New guy here, I spend most of my time racing hydroplanes. I just raced in Doha Qatar last month for the series first overseas race! This was my first year as Crew Chief for an Unlimited gas turbine powered hydro. I have been building the engines for a few years now and really enjoy that part of it the most.

I like to play with computers and my home network, I am a geek with a server rack in the basement. I also like to play with my daily drivers as well as the 3 Chevelles. My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my wife and 2 kids.

I have taken quite an interest in cooking over the last few years myself Jake, there really is a sense of relaxation to be found in it for me. I dont do fancy foods, I do meaty comfort foods, but I shock everyone with what I turn out around here.

Same with me i used to be a chef by profession then in 1994 I got my BS degree from UNR and changed my profession to CIS working for the Federal Government. Now I love cooking but when I was a Chef it was just a job.
