Default Show us your other hobbies (a.k.a. money-pits)!

So we always talk about Dakotas; but we all know there's more to life. Show us your other hobbies!

For me, my other hobby is my marine aquarium. I just started this aquarium a few months ago and I used to have a brackish set-up.

Now I have a 60 gallon salt water tank with the following fish:
- Mated pair of Black Ocellaris Clowns (two fish on the right side of pic)
- Sailfin Tang (next fish to the left after the clowns)
- Lemonpeel Angelfish (yellow fish)
- Flame Angelfish (red fish)

There is also a Bahama General Starfish that tours the tank. I also have a Powder Blue Tang, however he is in a quarintine tank due to an illness.

So this is where all my money goes if it doesnt go to my Dakota. It tends to be much more expensive, lol, but I truely enjoy fish.

Mine was Drag racing until i sold my old Chevy. I would go once or sometimes twice a week. I haven't been to the track since then. Once i get a good tuning program i'll start moding my Dakota and start racing again. I've been involved in drag racing since i was about 16 with my older brother. I like to know how much money i dumped into my last truck lol.
