Any other inexpensive hobbies?

In my former life, I drove a 1973 BMW 3.0cs- it has been my dream car since I was 12 and I finally made it happen at 30. Dual Weber’s on inline 6 with the Gertrag 5-speed - it was a incredible soundtrack and mechanical marvel. Not to mention the smell of welll creamed leather, oiled walnut dash and unburt gas while idling. It was heavenly. The sale years later was not my choice, it was to keep the peace in a dying marriage. I still managed to keep my ‘93 M5 (one of only 222 imported that year) but it do miss that coupe. Anyone have one languishing in their garage-feel free to let me know, that was one of biggest regrets in the not so inexpensive hobby realm.
Watches are cheaper and cause less heartache that cars....also easier to hide as assets” when shit goes sideways

I’d need a better tripod for stargazing, one with smoother adjustments. But I think you could have fun with it day and night. On the other hand, a $50 pair of binoculars and the Cornell Lab bird app and you are out the door having fun. I will look for some orange paint, something that will adhere to plastic.

Lovely, and love the Pittie (aka Am/Staff).

The color of that coupe was called Malaga which is a deep burgundy- mine was Verona which was an orangish red similar to vermillion and like the Ferrari color of the day (they didn’t do a blue-hue red until later). I sold it in ‘08 and didn’t have a digital camera back then so any images of it I have are on film and not digitized, but here is my M5, just out of winter storage- so please excuse the filth.

This thread is making me sad.
