Nice to hear about everyone’s lovely bicycles- mine was recently stolen. I used it for getting around NYC and had it highly tricked out including a cirrus bodyfloat seat suspension. My new new hobby should be planting a decoy bike to catch the MF’ers.
And since there are Porsche fans and owners here, I’ll tell you about my odd choice of car. Since I live in the city and am lucky to be able to have a car at all, I needed something somewhat practical. I discovered the Targa 4S model (now a previous generation) that actually had a usable hatchback. It’s such a rarely purchased model it took me 6 months of extensive searching to find the right very low mileage one (11500 miles), and had to buy it without seeing it in person and shipped from Wisconsin to NY.
Having a hatchback, I’ve gotten a bike in the car with the wheel off, air conditioners, a 49”LCD tv in the box, and used it to haul equipment for smaller film shoots.
After a recent scrape up and and then having several panels repainted, I’m planning on wrapping the entire car in 3M paint protection film. Still trying to decide if I should learn to do it myself as it’s quite costly.
Incidentally, I found the car listed for sale on Craigslist.... but in Dubai! The second owner had it a few months but didn’t want to pay to register the car and was attempting to sell it outside the country. Took me months to get it registered.
And my most expensive “hobby” of all..... Filmaking. Makes audio look like a bargain.
