    Re: We all love to shine our rides, what else do you like to do???????

    I work as a deputy sheriff assigned to the courts as a Bailiff, so my banker hours allows me to hang with the kids, take them shooting (had 2 of 5 and my bro in law 4 kids shooting at once, was fun they had a gas of a time, shot like 500 rounds of 9mm, .40 (duty weapon), 30.06, 22 pistol, 22 rifle and .17 rifle all in one day. not one had to sit in the car for rule violations!), crank on my '64 Chevy pick up (motor needs rebuilt) and my favorite thing is to hang out with my best friend and love of my life, my wife. We love to travel and recently took her to see Elton John in Portland OR for her birthday.

    Best of all, she buys me stuff for the truck and appreciates keeping our cars nice and shiny.

    Also going to take up hunting this next year, haven't done so since high school and now have the rifles and a 13 yr old boy(my step son) to drag around the hills with his grandpa. Gonna sell my old duty weapon and purchase a deer rifle for him for Christmas. He'll be surprised.

    And, I've been known to do some fishing, have about 15 rod/reels in the corner of the living room, half of the adults are the wifes rod/reels, she usually catches a bigger fish than me or my dad which makes him very happy. Each of 5 kids have a fishing pole, tackle boxes and supplies. My wife bought me a new tackle box to carry my river stuff, ocean stuff and lake stuff as well as bass stuff in one handy extremely heavy box. She didn't even gasp when I bought some very nice casting reels at a price I even gasp at, she was "buy them, they are nice and better than cheapy stuff". She even helped me tie some hooks for river fishing, like 200 or so for a salmon run (made some for my dad too) and had a gas of a time. Gotta love her!

        Now you are talking! But I did not add the part about your wife catching bigger fish than you do, because if my wife reads that, she will make me confess the same thing....and that is not happening!

          I hear ya, I did have a bigger salmon on board though in the Rogue River last year but the line broke at the boat, bout a 35lb'er, (by the time back at camp it was 50lb's LOL) my dad said he hit the line with his net and I bout toppled out of the boat backwards as the salmon was keeping me upright, he fought hard, was fun. She only caught a few steelhead 26" or bigger, Sheesh. LOL. She really is a good fisherwoman, her granny took her fishing all the time growing up and my dad me, so we make a great fishing pair. She let me buy ocean rods, river rods, light poles and some nice reels to go with them.

          I actually find myself cleaning the rods very carefully with a soft (MF) cloth and putting new line on it every year (got a friend that owns a tackle shop )

              You sound just like my wife and I. We both love fishing and spend most of the summer doing just that. When flipping through the TV stations, if we come acorss a fishing show, she asks to watch it! And...my parents owned a Sporting Goods store for over 20 years so I too grew up with fishing!

                All too cool when the spouses like what we like. Mine even loves football, baseball and watching Nascar with me.

                  Besides detailing..... being a mechanic, going for a cruise in the SS, or racing at the track.

                  When I have the time I work on my Camaro or go for a cruise in it. Sometimes Ill just start it to hear the cam lope, supercharger whine, listen to my tunes, or to get a whiff of the exhaust. There is ALWAYS something to upgrade, retune, adjust, etc. Im waiting for my 9" rear end to arrive and then thats next to be installed.... then slap some slicks on and see how far I can pull the front wheels off the ground.

                  Heres a video of when it was slow, pre supercharger. This was a 12.3 @ 116mph run... Im expecting 10s after the new rear end is installed.

                  My Camaro at the track!

                    Besides detailing my cars, I love to ride my bicycle. I also love flower gardening, touring historic homes and towns. I also collect car sales literature and car advertising. I have a sales brochure for every American made car, truck, and van since 1974. I started collecting these from the dealerships when I was 13. Annually, I go and make my rounds at the dealerships. It takes alot of room in my basement, and in fact, my wife says if I am ever in a coma, that collection is the first to go.
                    It's GREAT going Cadillac!

                      Wish I had seen this thread earlier,

                      Well, I'm a college student, so that takes up alot of time. I love sports, especially basketball (GO WILDCATS!!!!). And high school football is great as well.

                      I'm also very into shooting sports and hunting. I like to shoot trap, and also enjoy target shooting. Like Joe said in the first post of this thread, older guns are very interesting! I especially like 1911's and Old-West era guns (Colt SAA and Winchester lever guns).

                      Oh, and did I mention I like American Muscle??????? (Unfortunately, I do not own this Baldwin-Motion clone )

                        when im not detailing my ride, i'll be probably doing something with it. if not, i'll be going through 43832138213 car forums and searching for interesting articles to read. usually the 101's for suspension and engine tuning. anything to do with cars......its in my blood. currently prepping my car and my driving skills for track days.

                        lately i've been beginning to collect mcfarlane's figurines. mostly spawn...

                                Thanks, I'm thinking of adding a procharger or turbo kit to it. Not sure. I think the 224 cam will need to go first though. It's on a 112 lsa, which is too close for FI. Also I have 4.10 gears, which will need to go.
