So what other hobbies do you guys enjoy?

Just trying to get to know you guys better, and I thought some of us may have some other common interests beyond the chevelles.

For me, the chevelle is my main hobby, but I am also a very avid bicyclist and (although you may not think that if you saw me now after being off from working out after a head on car collision in may). I also am very big into custom wood working and cabinet making and have turned out some amazing pieces out of my crappy little shop. Unfortunately I dont have enough room for all, so my chevelle has too share the shop with the woodworking, so it either sits covered or gets backed out on days when the dust is really flying. I also am an avid shooter, I own lots and lots of diffrent types of firearms from small handguns to assault rifles. I enjoy taking my 8 year old daughter shooting, she recently got her first rifle. I also hunt and fish whenever i can.

When I am done doing all of that I also own my own electrical contracting company

I keep a busy plate for sure

So what else occupies your time?

Drag racing is big here. I like fishing, but that happens once a year or less.
As far as occupying time, lately it's snow removal and trying to stay off the couch, so I can get the car projects closer to being complete! (It's not working to well)

When not detailing my black car while having a beer,I enjoy working on my yard while having a beer.

We also show dogs,which takes up a lot of time.

What kind of dogs. A friend of mine shows his Dalmatian.

Being with my wife (Mary), Schwinn Stingray fastbacks (I have three a '69, 70, and a 72 all are five speeds with Stik Shifts!), Leather working/carving, Honda Z50's (I have a 1969 and a 72 for the wife), cooking and bbq, collecting classic redline hot wheels and other toys of my youth, and were just getting into hand guns target practicing, etc.

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.

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.
