sports and racing video games, some others like the gta games and james bond
sports, played baseball and football, still playing football on the semi pro level
started working on cars at like 10 or 11 when i got a vw beetle

10-16 was hard core surfing, skating and ------- tourist bitches at the beach every summer, mixed with a lot of pot smoking and beer drinking
16-19 lots and lots of hard core drug usage and ------- many random *****, most of which were met through use of hard core drugs.
19-20 quit doing drugs and met my wife (girfriend at the time) and bought my first honda (integra).
20-24 cars and my family

Always cars, had other intrests at times (skateboarding, bmx etc) but never strayed from cars, grew up in my uncles garage building ---- (30's and 40's hot rods) and any other stuff i got into always revolved around cars, video games(driving games) and sports, nascar, rally racing, truck racing, etc etc. Funny that i married a broad that hates cars, that makes things interesting at home, now both my son and daughter watch racing with me and love my car, the boy loves my giant ricer tach.......

i grew up in detroit, so the passion of cars is in my blood. i dont think it really matters if its a ford, chevy, honda,toyota, or datsun....from detroit muscle, exhotic italiano, to japanese reliability. i love them all for differant resons. carpassion was and still is my first hobby.

Little known fact: I used to run a skate shop. Long story short, but it failed as a business.
I used to ride Flatland 20" BMX. Never really got good but getting good takes like 8hrs a day for 100 years.

Music. I've had two bands, did a few week long tours. Don't play too much anymore. I have 2 Acoustics, 1 5 String Bass, 1 short scale 4 string bass, 1 Acoustic Bass. And a bunch more I've sold over the years.
Also Still Photography. I have 2 Nikon SLR Cameras (1 Full manual, 1 Auto/Manual) and a Canon Digi.
