r8rs4lf Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Anyone ever get into a new hobby and it end up taking over your life? It's happening to me right now. I've been in the market for some really nice Schwinn cruisers (single speed and 5 speed) for the wife and I to ride with our daughter. It's probably been about a week and a half that I have been looking on Ebay. I already have three 1980's 5 speed cruisers, one 1980 single speed womens cruiser and a 1972 Schwinn trike that looks like it rolled of the showroom floor. I still have yet to pick one of them up. It's getting a little out of hand now. The problem is that everytime I get a new one, a better one pops up! The first 5 speed cruiser I bought for my wife will probably go up for sale since I found her a nice single speed womens cruiser. I now own two chestnut brown 5 speed cruisers. Oh well, money is made to be spent right? Ebay is the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr82sxs Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) sure, blame ebay! EDIT: a hobby that over took my life a few years ago was my remote control 84" cigarette racing boat. i've got twin 72cc (14.8hp each) engines in it which cost just a little over $6000 and the rest which totals over $4000.

Champion201 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 For me it would be bass fishing. Champion201 Bass Boat, way to many G-Loomis GLX Rods with Abu Morrum SX reels and enough tackle to open my own tackle shop, as the wife would say. Heck, I purchased a 4 bedroom house so I could have a room just for my fishing tackle. What obsession? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkt71 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Worst thing I ever did was buy a house. Besides my car, and the fact I still have the SS, my new hobby is blowing $$ on the house... just spent $10K this past month on furniture, new tv's, garage stuff, etc etc etc ... thats my new hobby for now. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
