The 96 is a real Cobra... Spent more on the PAINT than on the Car itself!!
SN-95s are still cheap... So if I can afford another Car, it would certainly be that.
The 82 was my first brand new Car, bought in 81 for $6300 - THEN a LOT of money. I don't even think I could find an 82 beater for that today...

Keeping the plants healthy on my garden is my favorite pastime. I make sure that the surrounding is also clean and clear, I am using a backpack blower to clean the dried leaves and other things on the ground to keep it clean. I choose from this Backpack Blowers list https://gardeningfacts.org/best-backpack-blower/ that explains each brand.

Blacksmithing sounds really fun, and by sword fighting, do you mean fencing, or like longsword fighting?

Is it spa ?I like rocking out with my humble Squire, I've only been playing guitar for about eight months now and practicing daily for about six months, so far the hardest stuff I can play is Johnny B. Goode and the outro solo to Comfortably Numb. As of recently I've tried a bit of woodworking and so far I like it!!

Now that I am transitioning away from RC I got involved in a Guitar building competition the first half of the year. This is what I produced for my first attempt.
This is the summary of the build process which was part of the contest.
And these are a few examples of how it sounds. Dont mind the crappy playing its about the way the instrument looks and sounds.

Great! I have always been jealous of people capable of playing the guitar
I have ZERO clue what I am doing on it. I just mimic what I THINK I hear. It usually sounds OK with what is really being played but by no means a copy of any real quality musically. The key is do what ya can as long as your having fun. I highly recommend REAL lessons if you are remotely serious about playing. I am forcing myself to start breaking the bad habits I picked up over the years goofin around. save having to relearn of totally gimping yourself.

This is my latest obsession. I built one 10 years ago and sold it when I moved. Don't buy one of these kits and expect to slap it on in one day and go riding. I'm about to disassemble most of it so I can weld on permanent solid motor mounts. The clamp-on mounts allow the motor to shift no matter how tight you make them.
The bike is an old Murray rust bucket I picked up dirt cheap at a swap meet. It took several days to remove all the rust and get the bike working again. After I get all the bugs worked out I'm going to take it all apart again, paint it and put the fenders back on.
Remember when you were a kid and you clipped on baseball cards in the spokes so it sounded like an engine? I dreamed of having a real motor on my bike. It's just as much fun as I imagined it would be.

I was big into baseball in those days. I NEVER wasted a good trading card. I did however always steal the jokers and rule cards from my grandparents Hoyle playing card decks to use. Some friends would also stomp on aluminum soda cans or old beer cans and wedge them behind their seats in that U shape frame over the back tire.
Here If you have a powered bike like that they consider it necessary to be licensed and street legal and don't ever get caught on a side walk with one motor running or not. Even the old 70's style mopeds are required as well.

Depends a lot where you live. I had my first motorized bicycle in Las Vegas, NV. The cops didn't look twice at an old man wearing a helmet riding one of these in the bike lanes. I took it on many all day rides out to Red Rock Canyon. Now I live in a private community where almost everyone uses golf carts and other OHV's to get around the neighborhood.
