    used to be computers but I don't have the time to keep up with it like I did when I was a teenager.

    Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. Fast is good.

    VERY NICE TRUCK USMC!!! i love seeing old trucks and cars in really good shape like that! its one thing to have a brand new truck but its something else to have something 20 years old that looks better then it did new. I have a 1994 Ford Ranger 2wd that was my grandfathers, given to me when i turned 16... its still my only vehicle, its got 238k on it and still runs great. However, im collecting the parts to turn it into a solid axle 4x4, built 302, lift etc... its gonna be tough but its gonna be one raw shtf truck when im done.

    My Mazdaspeed 3, Surefire flashlights, and a dog with a severe allergy problem (not only high vet bills, but have to pull up all carpeting and replace with wood laminate and replace the bed). Oh, and eventually, a house.

    Do ex-wives count? They can be a very expensive hobby.

    Want to hear a joke a lawyer told me?

    "Do you know why a divorce is so expensive?"

    "Nope."

    "Because it's worth it."

    A couple of smallish high power rocket launchs

    First one was about 6 feet long and weighed 7-8 pounds; got 2,500 and change.
    Second one was bottom 2/3 of the first.
    I screwed up on the flight prediction of the 2nd and it popped chute probably about 6,500' AGL and drifted away never to be seen again.

    Right on. I've had 4 Rangers. One of my 93's, I rolled, so I put in Dana 44s from a 80 Jeep Wagoneer, cut the roof off and took the doors and bed off. It was 2wd so I made an adapter to mount the transfer case to the 2wd tranny. Had 35x15.50 Swampers on it. Built it when I was 18. It was a mean little thing.

    Two daughters, ages 7 years and 8 months.

    Heh, photography is also a huge expense. Luckily I started making a living at it some time back...so it's all business expense now.
    When preparing to engage in a battle of wits, it's best to ensure you're using quality ammunition.

    That's awesome. Looks like a lot of fun.
