Before I got my Mustang, I was VERY involved in my previous hobby, which is sneaker collecting! Some may say, "WHAT?", but if you would see some of the original Air Jordans I now have (I am a GIGANTIC MJ fan. Was lucky to see him live, in his prime, in the mid 90'), most that are "deadstocked" (not worn), I can get some serious money for these. I currently have over 120 pairs of sneakers, with most in either deadstock or very near deadstock condition. Once I bought the Mustang, my sneaker buying has slowed to only a few select pairs (retros) that I have sought for years.
Next is diecast miniatures. I love 1:18 scale, and I collect all the exotic types and all Mustangs. Those I probably have over 300 or so easily. Some are rare, and hard-to-find. This hobby is still going, and I only get those that I think will sell out quick (i.e Kyosho 250 GTO, Koenigsegg CCX, etc). Its a fun hobby, which keeps me close to cars.
Also, LOVE movies. Have a pretty good DVD collection. Other than that, not much else.

Any motorcycle powered Road Race vehicle:
I used to have a 125cc Shifter Kart, but I sold it for a downpayment on a house. This is a 1975 Legrand Mark 18 D Sports Racer with a 1300cc motorcycle engine.
EDIT: Here's two links to video's of the same DSR at an event in Houston. No, that's not me driving because the car was sold shortly after I drove it.

Nice. My neighbor has a 1966 Suzuki X6 T60 Hustler that needs a bit of work but still looks great.
Sickkkk.

In the closet in my old room at my parents place! All in boxes, and away from the light. The ones I'm most proud of having are deadstock Retro AJ XI (White/Black/Dk Concord Patent leather, and Cool Grey Patent leather), Retro AJ VIs in Black/Infrared, and the Olympic colorway (only available on Niketown.com), and Retro AJ IV Laser print (this has every Air Jordan lazer imbedded print all over the shoe). These were extremely rare and I get looks whenever I wear them to the mall (which is VERY rare to do so). Also love my '94 Retro 1s (when Retro wasn't in and didn't sell a lick), and the 2000 Retro I's. Also have many pair of Agassi tennis shoes, which are now becoming VERY popular.

I have a couple other passions
Two hobbies I like besides my Mustang is sailing and model making. During the summer months, I love to go sailing and during the winter, I make models, mostly of ships, but also cars and planes. My wife and I also enjoy camping and travel.
I'm people, and I like.
