expensive hobbies eh? I know the feeling man. A new coral might cost me $75, and i will look at it every day after work. On the other hand I go racing and blow $75 just in warming the car up and maybe get 1 run out of it. Typical race weekend I will burn up $200 in fuel for a single car, and i dont even want to itemize the cost of wear on the motor for each pass. My little brother and I will race this weekend and probably drop around $1,000 on entry fees, race fuel, and related expenses. The maintenence on the racecars makes me reef expenses seem like a joke.

got a

, but have no kids..... I figure I need to wait until I settle down and stop doing so much crazy stuff before I have kids, I am only 27 now anyway. We also like to cliff dive, drink margaritas, and chase women. The last one there can be costly also.......

well my dogs are like my kids, I love them to death. I come home, lay flat on my back, and let the bassets climb all over me, bark and howl, and give me kisses. People at parties we have think I am crazy for letting the dogs kiss me, but I dont care. They are great. As for winning money, yes we do win money, but we dont race for the money. This weekend we could win around 15k, but you can't get in this hobby banking on winning enough to pay for the costs. Heck, some of our motors are over $30,000. Eventually if you do good you get to where the cars can support themselves, but we do it for the fun really

MK-gotta tell you, my 6 year old son was looking over my shoulder as I looked at your cars and all of a sudden, he yells "Aaahhhh, SWEET!!!" Now he wants to know if we can go watch them in action. Ooooh boys and their toys!
