So what other hobbies do the people at Club Polk have?
I myself like cars and motorcycles. No cars to play with at the moment, but I do have a GSXR 750 & TRX 250R quad.
Just wondering what people here are into.

Used to have cars as a hobby but since I am now gainfully employed part time as a diesel mechanic, it's a job. I do get to work on and drive dump trucks, trash trucks, rollbacks and a bunch of front-end loaders and bulldozers though!Expert Moron Extraordinaire

That's not a hobby. Hobbies are things you do for FUN!
In addition to all things audio, I like:
loud, fast things with wheels
photography
speaker building (but that's audio, really)
Russ' response a few lines up made me spew Gatorade on my keyboard. It wouldn't be all that funny, except he's serious..:D -

Mecinine? Meclizine? Mezzanine? Methamphetamine? What? Too much beer for you. And yes, I find much therapy in beer.
