Great minds think alike... I was gonna say Polo on the helicopter deck on my yacht.
Yeh, but serial trophy wives could be the topper. Anybody seen Tiger lately?

The cost of racing cars has increased steadly every year, that caused me to quit long ago. I will admit, racing does remain in the blood and I try to get to a strip once or twice a year to get the smell and feel again.

My father ended up after flipping boats with a 48 Ft. Fountain that we took on Poker Runs and so many other wonderful adventures. I agree that's an expensive hobby, but I can't afford that one just yet.
I sure do miss him.For me it is the most expensive passion and hobby. I love it and know I will succeed one day. It's just going to take some time.
Photography is by far my most expensive hobby. I have been trying to start my own small business for years. I focused on macro and landscape for yrs, when Dslr were not available, even at my University. Now I am getting into newborns and babies. Weddings are great, but I am so excited to do some shoots with those adorable little angels and maternity photos. Photography is my passion, not just a hobby.
