Mini Obsessions and Collecting Stuff

[previasc96]

Sometimes I get mini obsessions. Like a few years ago, for some reason I became obsessed with farm tractors! I started collecting pictures of em in my photobucket and then buying toys and scale models. I also have a strange obsession with glass gars and liquor bottles. The other day I randomly found a small size Grey Goose bottle and was like "f*ck yeah!" I rinsed it out with some bleach and let it dry and am now using if for decoration. I really love the Grey Goose and Belvedere Vodka Bottles. I wish I could make a display similar to those in bars with the lighting illuminating the bottles. I scored a Patron Bottle as well. I wanna fill that one with small sea shells and two colors of beach sand. The Disaronno Bottle is nice too. When ever the wife and I buy a liquor in a cool bottle she will often ask if I wanna keep it for decor. I wish I had a special place to collect a whole gang of em.
Another mini obsession I've developed is tennis racquets. I never played tennis, Just got into watching it this year, always play with tennis balls growing up too. I Just love holding them and swinging them. I love the way the look and the details that set them apart. I check out the local Good Will Super store or other thrift shops and pick em up for 2-3 bucks, which is crazy considering I've seen new ones at Wal-Mart for almost 100 bucks.

I've also recently started going around getting old National Geographic mags and cutting out the auto ads out of em. I scored some Nat Geo mags form the early 70's

Are there any mini obsessions you guys/girls have?

I used to get really geeky about watches, but have an E30 again and only so much money. That said, here's a desk clock I made out of a Volvo 240 dash clock. One of my best friends found it in a junkyard and knew I'd like it, first car was a 245. I won't admit to how many hours I have into it, but I love having it in my office and it keeps great time.

woah!!! playground rules!!!!!! we mustn't forget about the triple dog dare, the "your sister likes my dick in her butt", and of course, the ever utilitarian "i fucked your mom in the butt!" comebacks?





antique clocks(not cocks) and old cameras for me. the more complicated the better. oh, yeah...burbon bottles too.

Matchbox cars, Legos, and shot glasses.

I'll still pick up some every now and then, but I don't go out of my way anymore to get these things.

[Cabriolet]

i'm obsessed with M20s and e30s. but i was obsessed with Legos as a kid, then Couter-Strike, then WoW, and now spending all my money on cars. But that's exacerbated by spending 7 hours a day on R3v.

[E30_Pare]

I buy expensive tools (usually discounted somewhere) and then am afraid to use them for getting damaged. Not because of the price, but because of their mechanical perfection.

OP is a hoarder. Fusion doesn't make sense. You are afraid to use a mechanically perfect tool because you are afraid you will break it? Use it as intended and a perfect tool will never break. So much win in this thread.
