What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?


Hello,
I was curious as to what other Hobbies or Interests do you have that also take up much of your time, energy and money or is Audio the only one for you?
Being a car enthusiast is definitely my first passion. Always reading about new cars and lusting after some classics.

For me, besides my interest in building a Audio System in the past few years, I am also a Car Enthusiast and Amateur Photographer (actually I hate using that term, more like a photo enthusiast because I consider myself a novice).
All 3 Hobbies have taken much of my time, energy and money. Sometimes I look back and think, wow, what have I done?
Could have saved all that money and time.
So I guess I should list my gear if I am talking about other hobbies:
Cars:

2016 Mustang GT 6 Speed (weekend car, a few modifications) and 2018 Subaru Forester XT (Daily Driver). Obviously both are performance oriented.

Camera Gear: Nikon D750 with Kit Lense, Nikon 50mm 1.8 Lense, Tamron 14-24MM 2.8G
Thnx

I’ve been experimenting with the quite versatile audiophile anti-vibration fo.q tape on the frame of my Macho Man road bike and am pretty sure the ride is smoother and the pedaling easier. Could be expectation bias but I don’t think it is. Anyone else use anything like this?
Before I forget, for all you road bike enthusiasts, remember to use Helium canisters in lieu of air pump to shave precious 12 grams off your riding weight.
Cycling, not being fond of hill climbs I’ve found a route around town here that is all down hill. Which steel frame bike excel at. 
My next upgrade, Vittoria Graphene racing tires and those cool pink ultralight inner tubes.
Prior to contracting Alfa Romeo disease I also had British sports car disease, my first car was an Austin Healy 3000 about which I did not know when the master cylinder goes out both the brakes and clutch go out simultaneously. I also has the displeasure of seeing my Triumph TR-7 catch fire from overheating. 
You should have got an English Setter and French Bulldog. They already know the language.
Once upon a time my hobby was fixing and repairing Alfa Romeos. I had five count ‘em in a row. The most fun of any car to have in the shop. I took my car once to an Alfa dealer and asked for a rough estimate so they beat the crap out of me.
I fell Into the Vortex of Evil 😈- collecting CDs. Sure, I listen occasionally but I know what I like - collecting them! Is that wrong?
All-City Macho Man, Steel frame, Thomson Masterpiece seat post, Brooks Cambium TEST seat, Vittoria inner tubes, Continental Grand Prix 4000 tires. Campagnolo quick release skewers.
