Re: Other expensive hobbies

Cars & trucks are my main drain. All too easy to spend more on tires and gas for a single playful weekend than I have on all my flashlights throughout my entire life. I have dabbled in real estate, although I don't think I can call that expensive as it invariably made me money. I like audio equipment but it's not a hobby, I learned enough and spent enough to build a system I like and then stopped there. Likewise guns. I'm an avid reader but that's not expensive. So.......I think that's about it; cars and trucks.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Guns are definitely an expensive hobby. I'm trying to save up for a little $1200 piece, but I keep spending bits of cash here and there on flashlights.

Having tools, in general, to work on hobbies is also expensive.

Photography would be much more expensive for me if I had gotten a dSLR instead of an "SLR-like" (meaning, not an SLR at all) digicam.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Building computers, and modifying cars. The other hobbies I have just take time.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

In the past I have taken up golf, hockey, backpacking, and archery and I approached them all with the same vigor I now approach light and knives. I still enjoy doing them but I just don't have the time and money anymore.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Definately cars. New set of tires, $1200. New sets of spring and shocks, $700. New sets of gears and installation, $1000...

Re: Other expensive hobbies

I enjoy lighting 1.4G consumer fireworks. Fireworks are one of the most expensive hobbies. However, they are illegal where I live, so I can only light them if I happen to be at a place where they're legal.

- Snow boarding

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Guns, knives, audio equipment, computers and modifying cars. Of those, modifying cars is both the most expensive and most satisfying of pursuits. Nothing like having one of the fastest rides in the neighborhood.

Especially if you buy new equipment.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Headphones; and I don't mean the $5 cheapies that come with iPods.

Head-Fi.org is the CPF of headphones. Now that I'm a barely employed student, I stay far away from there (but I'll be back someday). :shrug:

Flashlights are way cheaper.

No doubt! I'm down to 3 L lens now having sold my 300 2.8 L since I no longer shoot football. Great lens however!

I'd also have to include knives, fountain pens, and RC cars into the mix.

Re: Other expensive hobbies

Knives, guns, and flashlights make me but the guns most of all.
