April 18, 200620 yr Believe it or not, there are other hobbies more insane than this one. Microphones, for example -- there are people who collect microphones. This one, for example, is, offhand, the most expensive one I could find in a readily available catalog -- which means there are easily more expensive ones that aren't in the catalog: What else you got?
April 18, 200620 yr You probably don't want to see my collection of B&K calibration mikes and all my Neumann's... All of which are electrostats... Cameras, you betcha... Cars, yeah them too...
April 18, 200620 yr Roleplaying... I'm a huge D&D and WoD geek. Good to see there's another D&D geek here. Haven't played WoD in ages.
April 18, 200620 yr Well, this is my current money pit... my 8th Jeep in 13 years, and one of two I have right now! It's a '62 JEEP CJ-5 Universal I had shipped up from SC. I looked for months up here in New England, but there's nothing more than 10 years old that doesn't have way too much rust to consider. It's hardly perfect, but I lucked out that it doesn't need much, and there's no rust at all. But unfortunately nothing on a 45 year old vehicle comes cheap!
April 18, 200620 yr Anything and everything otaku. I'm an anime junkie. Watching anime every single day for the past five years, having anime music constituting more 2/3 of all my music, wall scrolls hung on the walls, numerous figures on bookshelves and desks, anime fanbooks, mangas, and doujinshi everywhere. Pwahaha.

April 18, 200620 yr Get a life! I know! My friends are horrified. My parents think I'm on drugs. I have to change my habit of watching anime all the time or I'm not going to survive college. Not mentioning, somebody would probably beat me up for being so weird.

Pwahaha. One of my buddies here at the university is ridiculously into anime and manga as well. He doesn't have figurines or wall scrolls or anything, but on any given day, at any given time, if you were to guess that he was watching anime, you'd probably be right.

April 19, 200620 yr Yeah, but do you have a Guts plushie? I'm lacking in plushies. Garrrrr, I need to get more plushies! I only have an old Totoro one... which I don't really like. I'm picking up three plushies soon. (Saber, Rin, and Sakura from Fate/Stay Night)

April 19, 200620 yr mmmm CJ-5 .... ZJ guy here... we have 3 Mine is longarmed - stroked and supercharged - rolling on 35s ... speaking of a money pit jeez ... my welder cost more then my entire audio rig Yeah, my other rig is a WJ... it's nice to be able to put the CJ up for the winter. I'd love to see the ZJ! A welder's on the list of things to get!
April 19, 200620 yr Yeah, my other rig is a WJ... it's nice to be able to put the CJ up for the winter. I'd love to see the ZJ! A welder's on the list of things to get! Its a hover jeep right now (I was rebuilding the joints on the longarms while I was home over break but ran out of time) ... I have its little brother here at school... only has 32s. Ill have to get some pics when I get back home... I just got a camera not too long ago
April 19, 200620 yr Author Aw, man...I want a hover jeep! Just think -- will give 'offroading' a whole new meaning!
April 19, 200620 yr Believe it or not, there are other hobbies more insane than this one. What else you got? Locks - Upwards of 75. I'll post a picture sometime. My collection of lockpicking tools is also pretty substantive. Lasers - 180mW green, plus ILDA 40K-capable galvos, bILDA DAC in progress Camera equipment - Nikon D70 Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8 AF-S ED IF Nikon 85mm Tilt-Shift (PC) f/2.8 ED (not AF) Nikon 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 AF-D VR ED Nikon 50mm f/1.4 Nikon SB-800, SC-28 Off-Camera TTL Shoe Cord, dinky but nevertheless useful flash-mounted softbox Brand-X Chinese studio strobe and stand Photek Digital LightHouse lightbox Grand Enigma -- what kind of welder do you have?
April 19, 200620 yr GE, My 98ZJ used to roll on 32s, BB+OME suspension and such. In the end it proved to be a platform that just didn't seem to handle abuse very well , I'm sure longarms and such would have cured most of its ills but it was my DD and that wasn't in the cards. My other $$$ sucking hobbies include: photography (i'm a hack w/ my D70 and small used lens collection) and of course this... 2000 Triumph Sprint RS - lightly modded w/ 21k on the clock (90% mine)
April 19, 200620 yr I take it you were at one point a member of NAGCA or Jeepsunlimited? I have a Hobart welder, plasma cutter, and mig welder as well as a transportable setup for those oh so fun trail fixes Hover jeep is my DD while I am home...nothing like being able to smoke the ricers off the line and run them over too I might add 4wheel burnouts are fun while mall-crawling (598hp).
April 19, 200620 yr I have a Hobart welder, plasma cutter, and mig welder as well as a transportable setup for those oh so fun trail fixes Hobart stick? Transportable == ReadyWelder? Or lead-acid powered stick?
April 19, 200620 yr I take it you were at one point a member of NAGCA or Jeepsunlimited? Both, but don't get to either much anymore since moving to the S4. Local wheeling space dried up in the course of a year which also prompted the sale of the ZJ, not to mentoin the 12mpg \. Nate
